You download too much crap.

Sometimes you download thesamecrap multiple times.

Even if it’s crucial that you keep those files, you dont need two of them.

To get rid of the dupes, we recommend dupeGuru.

Matches across file key in (i.e.

matching a JPEG to an identical PNG).

Customizable filtering allows you to adjust the rules and strictness of matching.

Automatically remove empty folders during file deletion.

One-button selection to delete dupes.

Move dupes to separate folder.

Perform custom terminal commands on originals or dupes.

Specialty versions for music and picture cleanup.

To start a scan, you simply add a folder to the main window and hit Scan.

After a minute or two, youll get a list of all the files the app found duplicates of.

after you snag your dupes, you’re able to make quick work of them.

Where It Falls Short

In terms of finding duplicate files, dupeGuru is hard to beat.

The Picture and Music editions are also fairly slow.

Or watch a movie, if your library isreallybig.

For that reason,CCleanergets an automatic recommendation, since its alreadyone of our favorite apps.

Under the Tools sidebar, select Duplicate Finder to scan your system.

SearchMyFilesis another good option that includes some heavy filtering options and robust comparison tools.

Duplicate Files Finderis another solid, if simplistic option.

Because it only compares identically sized files, its insanely fast.

However, this also limits how effective it can be at finding more vague matches.

If you just want to clear up some space, it can do it with just a couple clicks.

But dont expect your hard drive to be totally free of junk afterwards.
