How many files do you have on your system? Probably too many. Sometimes we may have duplicate files on the system. Finding these duplicates is somewhat of a challenge if you don’t have the right tool.
Similar files can certainly exist, no matter if you are running Windows or Mac OS. We often download multiple copies of the same documents and pictures by mistake that in turn takes up our additional storage. This storage can be used for other purposes. But how to find these duplicate files?
We can fix these files and documents manually but it’s a time-consuming method as well as a challenging process. To find duplicates in every folder and drive can take up hours of our precious time.
This can now be done using a tool called Duplicate Filter.
What is Duplicate Filter?
Duplicate Filter is an easy to use tool that scans your system for identicals. Be it files, music, videos or photos. It searches for duplicates or identical files by using Cyclic Redundancy Checksum (CRC) method for the purpose. This method allows you to find similar and exact duplicates by varying degree of similarity.
CRC is used for finding exact or same content in your system. You can also search files based on similar size also. It has all the file formats included for scanning. Even if the user has some specific format to be scanned, this software can also scan the user specified file and format.
Once scanned, it displays the list and chart of identical files present in your system based on file type, size and quantity.
