Remove Duplicate Files With DoubleKiller

View Comments February 12, 2008 | Everton

Double Killer

I’ve just found a nice free utility that removes duplicate files that I thought I should share. DoubleKiller will scan your PC for duplicate files and remove them. This can free up valuable hard disk space, reduce the time needed for backups or file searches and tidy up your picture or music collection.

Key Features:

  • Scans directories, complete drives or computers in your Network Neighborhood for duplicate files
  • Freely combinable comparison criteria (file name, size, date and content)
  • You can exclude files based on their name, file type, attributes or size
  • Presents a list of all identical files so you can decide which ones to remove
  • Deletes the files you chose or moves them to another directory
  • Allows to export the result list to a text file

Duplicate files are found by comparing the name, size, date, and CRC32-checksum of your files. If you are worried about DoubleKiller deleting files by mistake, there’s an inbuilt safety mechanism which allows you to recover files if this occurs.

  1. Remove Duplicate Files With DoubleKiller…

    One of the problems of downloading lots of music or poor file management, is that you can end up with lots of duplicate files.  Not only does this waste space on your hard drive, it can also make your iTunes library look messy, and even slow your mac…

    Another duplicate file finder is clone tools. The difference is that Clone Tools is more explorer like and works with both folders and files.
    Here is a short online demo movie

    It can find dupes based on the same name, size, CRC and/or comparing byte by byte
    and
    It shows you the size of all your directories
