Some times we download and install some software or store something, which sometimes without our knowledge it may be the same content and is duplicated in the computer, which will take unnecessary space. DupScout is a free, flexible and easy-to-use duplicate files finder utility allowing one to detect and cleanup duplicate files on disks, networked computers and NAS storage devices. DupScout provides multiple duplicates detection modes, numerous removal and cleanup actions, user-defined profiles and customizable GUI layouts.

Now this program will come in handy for me. I have always been besieged with multiple files in my hard drive thanks to my idiosyncracy and short memory. When I do research on the net, I save pages or files on some folder which is either already existing or just created. If I don’t act on the researched material immediately, I leave them where they are and go about my usual routine. Then when I remember about it days later, I go researching again and saving files not knowing I have already done it before.
This app will certainly help me save time and also help lighten up my disks.

Duplicated files eat up drive space, and this tool works great for this removing these files.
However, choosing an app for this task is up to the data. An app using checksum to check whether two files are similar takes time and computer resource, especially for audio files while an app using ID3 tag works great for this kind of file. And more, for images, two identical images but in different sizes will not be caught.

Thanks for mentioning this program. I wasn’t aware of it. I move stuff so frequently between computers, that I have duplicates all over the place. I’ll have to check this out.
@Evan then in that case this little freeware should be handy……….
@Ankit you are welcome……….
What if I have duplicate content with different file names? Of course their file size on disk would be approximately the same. But is this program smart enough to detect that? Mind it, they are duplicate copies with different file names!
