Duplicate files can be counted among useless data which clog up your hard drive. Sometimes, it is easy to find such data, other times you have to browse all your folders in order to find it. Although the concept is not new, software which automatically find duplicate files can come in very handy. Simply named Duplicate Finder, the purpose of this tool should be obvious. No matter how much the duplicate files spread across your disk, this tool can swiftly find them and let you delete, rename or move them immediately.

Duplicate Finder is very easy to get. The download will only take up 766 Kb of your disk space. This also means that it can be downloaded fast even with a weaker Internet connections. During the installation process, you will only have to set a destination path and choose if you want a shortcut on your desktop.

You can find duplicate files in no time due to the software's straightforward interface. When performing this process, you can target either the whole hard drive or individual folders. This is done by adding one or more paths to a list on the main window. You can set different filters and exclusion rules or protect certain files by accessing the designated tabs in the same area as the paths list. But making use of these features requires buying the full version of the software.

Basic search options can be found next to the paths list, in the upper left corner of the main window. Here you can set search parameters such as file name, same extension, same data and time and more. When everything seems ready, all that is left to do is to click on the Start Search button, found on the toolbar. Even if you target the whole disk, the search will not take long. The results will be displayed on a list, placed in the lower area of the main window. Cons:
Some important features, like setting filters, exclusions or protecting files are not available in the trial version.

It will only take you a few seconds to spot similar files on your hard drive when using Duplicate Finder. Due to its user friendly interface, experience is not a requirement.

Pros

The software is small and fast. It can be installed on any computer in no time and searching for duplicates is also a swift process. The interface is designed for maximum efficiency, so there is nothing to slow you down.

Cons

ecutive groups of duplicates will be colored differently, so it will be easier to spot them. Duplicate Finder lets you select any file with the aid of check boxes and perform different actions on them. These include deleting, renaming or sending all of them to a specific folder. Most of the actions can be executed by making use of the toolbar buttons or by accessing the Action menu.
