Editor's Review of Easy Duplicate File Finder

Use your PC long enough, and it will get littered with duplicate files of all kinds. Graphics files, .doc files, media files, .dll files, you'll be amazed at how many duplicates you have. They clog up your hard disk, take away precious hard disk space, and make it hard to find the files you want.

This simple freebie will find duplicate files, then let you delete the ones you don't want. Point it at your hard disk or selected folders, and it goes to work, finding duplicates. It then gives you a full report, and lets you clean them en masse, or just selected ones. There's some nice intelligence built in as well. It tells you how much disk space duplicate files take up, for example, and lets you protect system files so that you don't accidentally delete any important files your PC needs in order to run properly.

Note: This program is donationware. It is free to try, but the author accepts and encourages donations towards further development.

Duration of ownership: 2 Days

Strengths: does find alot of dup files.

Weaknesses: do not delete all of the dups cause it shows original files so keep one of the latest if you want the duplicate file.would like a select all key instead you have to go to each fiel and check off.

Overall Evaluation: very good for free. would like more ways to be sure if file is safe to delete. And would like the above suggestions so if have alot of pictures to delete not have to go to each file to check off.

Duration of ownership: 1 Days

Strengths: Ability to choose which drive to search, amount of description helps you choose what to delete; satisfactory speed searching and identifying the duplicates

Weaknesses: Caution led me to select files one by one - I didn't see another way to do it - but this is a very time consuming process.

Overall Evaluation: As a non-tech user, while I found this useful to eliminate obvious unnecessary duplicates, I wasn't confident to assume that all files it found are deletable; many file descriptions were still incomprehensible to me so couldn't make informed decision about deletion. For a user like me, caution would suggest doing this in the company of a more technically savvy user who can explain various file descriptions. I did save 143Mb, but for now put them in Trash and will back them up externally before deleting permanently, in case I've made some goofs.

Duration of ownership: 1 Days

Strengths: Simple interface, speedy scan, clear groupings, good error handling, Results can be selected by date (newest/oldest), can delete permanently or to recycle bin.

Weaknesses: No way to select groups of files to include/exclude files from a folder. Single-type or all file-type scanning (Mask type file scanning) with only one file type scanned at a time. No folder exclusion option.

Overall Evaluation: A very nice, if simple, duplicate file finder. The masking option can make it difficult to scan for multiple file types (jpg & jpeg = 2 different searches, but jp*g = 1 search) It's important to scan only specific folders and specific file types for best results. If properly set, it does a very nice job of cleaning up duplicate files. But be sure to carefully review the selected files to be deleted as wholesale deleting can be hazardous to your data. For what it does, it does a good job.
