Cisdem DuplicateFinder

Cisdem DuplicateFinder is a lightweight app that helps you find and get rid of duplicate files on your hard drives. It's super user-friendly, so you can easily manage those pesky duplicates.

Easy Scanning for Duplicates

This app has a simple and intuitive interface that makes it really easy to select the folders you want to scan for duplicate items. Plus, it supports drag-and-drop actions, which is a huge time-saver!

Customizable Scanning Options

You can customize the scanning process through the Settings panel. Want to ignore certain file types or sizes? No problem! You can set it up to skip files with specific extensions or even define a size range for duplicates.

Manage Your Deleted Files

The same Settings area lets you choose what happens to deleted files. Do you want them in the trash or a special folder? Or would you rather remove them completely right away? The choice is yours!

Select Your Scanning Method

You can also pick how you'd like to scan: by file content or by file name. This gives you flexibility depending on how organized (or disorganized!) your files are.

Organized Results Panel

Once the scan is done, you'll see your duplicate files neatly sorted into tabs based on their type: Documents, Images, Music, Videos, Archives, Packages, and Other. It even has a handy search tool and lets you sort by size, type, name, or count!

Visual Overview of Storage Space

In Overview mode, Cisdem Duplicate Finder shows an animated graphic that helps visualize how your storage space is used. Each file type gets its own color label so it's super easy to see what's taking up room.

Selecting Files for Deletion

You can pick which duplicates to delete or hide certain items if needed. Plus, if you're dealing with images in supported formats, there’s even a thumbnail preview right within Cisdem Duplicate Finder!

A Few Limitations

While this app does have lots of sorting options and is easy to use, it doesn’t automatically mark multiple duplicates for deletion based on things like creation date or audio quality. So if you're facing lots of duplicates for one file and need help deciding which one to keep, it might take a bit more time.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking to clean up large folders with hundreds or thousands of files based on specific criteria, you might want to explore other solutions that could handle that task better. But for simpler jobs? Cisdem DuplicateFinder does just fine!
