Remove Duplicate Files With DoubleKiller
Everton | Feb 12, 2008 | Comments 4
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.
