Duplicate Files Searcher

Working with many resources on your projects, such as documents, or multimedia files, might leave duplicates behind, which after long term usage of the computer can end up taking a lot of disk space. In this regard, Duplicate Files Searcher wants to help you easily locate similar files on your hard disk drive, delete, or move them to a different location.

Before you can enjoy all the application has to offer, you need to check whether or not Java Runtime Environment is installed on your computer, because it’s a mandatory component for functionality. On the other hand, portability allows you to carry it around on a USB flash drive to use on other computers besides your own.

Features:

• Intuitive visual design with different tabs for quick access


• File filters for name, size, and date


• Search options for file name, date, length, content, etc.


• Byte-to-byte comparison and use of hashing algorithms


• Custom database for results

Specifications:

• Price: FREE


• Publisher: Rafal Fraczek


• Portable application


• Option to include subdirectories for search


• Neat organization of results with image preview

The operation doesn’t take long to look through your selection of folders, but this mostly depends on the size and complexity of the selected folder. Once done, you can switch to the results tab. These are neatly organized in clearly distinguishable groups, with the possibility to enable image preview. You can select all duplicates except one to delete or move to a different location.

To sum it up, Duplicate Files Searcher is a reliable application which you might want to use every now and then to remove duplicate files you don’t really need and take up disk space for no reason. Custom filters can be configured to narrow down results, with search finished in little time, and a decent set of operations for results.
