Editorial 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: Same as before

Weaknesses: It's not good...I went to register and the application crashed (froze on a black screen) and I lost an entire days worth of search results (over 100,000 duplicate files).

Overall Evaluation: On the bright side--I will do smaller chunks of work from now on. After searching the entire computer, it was more complicated to interpret the results and deal with them. Boy! I have made a complete mess of my computer. Total restructuring required. :)

Duration of ownership: 2 Days

Strengths: Didn't find any -- the weakness stopped everything cold.

Weaknesses: The program investigated one file for more than 24 hours and never provided what I assumed would be a list of duplicates (or at least a report I could print). When I looked for the file, it didn't exist. I guess the program hung when it found something (heaven knows what) that made it choke.

Overall Evaluation: Phoey - I WASTED 24 hours of my computer time on this.

Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

Strengths: Looked promising.

Weaknesses: Just a rotten hook! Found thousands of files in documents and setting but each folder has to be manually selected for deletes.

Overall Evaluation: Junk! Appears to be a come-on/scan to get you to buy the $50 utility with a different name; Duplicate Finder v3.5.3.

Duration of ownership: 2 Days

Strengths: Comprehensive and protective. Deleted all dups except the latest into my recycle bin and haven't had to access any of them yet.

Weaknesses: Incomplete help file--doesn't tell you the secret to deleting/moving/renaming all dups at once, making you think you have to do them one by one.

Overall Evaluation: Like others, I thought you had to individually check each file--with duplicates running into the thousands, that wasn't going to happen. Then I found the trick. After the search is completed, put your mouse anywhere in the results box and RIGHT CLICK. This will bring up the box that will give you the ability to delete or move or re-name all files at once. Before beginning, I've set a restore point on my Windows XP as a precaution, then deleted all duplicates, saving only the latest. Noticed that when I tried to close Win XP, Windows Explorer wasn't shutting down immediately. Ran a registry check/fix and the problem went away.
