V Folder Dups

Duplicate folders and files stored in your computer occupy disk space that can be used for storing additional data and thus, removing them is rather important. V Folder Dups focuses on finding dupe directories on your hard drive and allow you to easily erase them.

It's important to specify from the start that this small application cannot find duplicate files, since it is especially designed for comparing and finding exact copies of whole folders only. To do so, it compares the name, number of sub-folders, files and the total size of the directory, but it does not look at its content.

The main interface consists of a single window that comprises all the options and features. Configuring the application is an easy task, since you just have to specify the location of the drive or folder to analyze and set the comparison criteria.

Comparing folders exclusively by their name might generate less accurate search results, but you can extend the criteria range, as mentioned above. Optionally, results can be filtered by their name and size.

Depending on the number of directories on a drive and their size, the analysis process can take more or less time to complete. The found items are neatly displayed in tree view and a few management options are available in the context menu. Thus, you can open directories in Windows Explorer to view their contents, open the parent folder or simply delete them from the system with just a click.

Ease of use is one of the main characteristics of the application, which makes it suitable for both beginners and advanced users.

V Folder Dups comes in handy for quickly identifying duplicate folders. However, the fact that the application does not take into consideration the contents of the directories it compares makes us doubt its reliability. Its results might prove to match the number of files, the size and the name, but the actual files might be different.
