Duplicate File Cleaner

Whenever you use the computer on a regular basis, installing or uninstalling software and also performing various file and folder operations, your hard disk can become full of duplicate files. These files can take a lot of hard disk space and can also slow down your computer and even affect its stability, as each file reference is normally stored in the system registry and having multiple copies of the same file will mean several references.

To avoid this kind of situations, you could just install Duplicate File Cleaner. This Windows program allows you to easily scan and remove all the duplicate files stored on your computer, even if the files don't have the same name. After installing and running the software, the user will be presented with an intuitive and graphical interface, which allows him to select the desired hard disk partitions or folders that should be scanned for duplicate files.

The program can be configured to scan for each kind of file or only certain file types, like images, documents, music files and so on. Thus, the search process will take less time. All these options are found in the first tab of the program's interface, which is called Basic. By accessing the Outlook tab, you can easily remove all the duplicate emails stored in Outlook, either by scanning for the same subject or for the same contents.

There is also a dedicated tab for detecting duplicate music files. This feature can either find songs which have the same name, same artist or same size. There is a similar tab available which can be used for detecting duplicate photos. Besides detecting and removing duplicate files, Duplicate File Cleaner also includes a set of tools, which allow you to completely wipe files from your hard disk, beyond recovery, clean up junk files and also synchronize files between two different folders.
