Easy Duplicate Finder Review

Dennis Faas's picture

Duplicate files are the curse of every computer user - even professional computer technicians have them. While duplicate files are not really something that harms your PC, they do take up disk drive space, slow the PC down (especially when thumbnail previews are generated in Windows), and make things very disorganized.

So, if you have a large drive - or a couple of them - and store lots of files on your PC, one thing I recommend my clients do is to take some time to manage duplicate files in order to free up space. This not only saves backup space, but also the users' sanity, should they ever have to deal with "which is the newest file?" when editing an older document (for example). The easiest way to manage duplicate files is to use a duplicate file finder program.

Introducing: Easy Duplicate Finder

Easy Duplicate Finder is a program that will help you find and remove all types of duplicate files in a quick and easy way. It has an intuitive design, provides accurate scan results, and has an Undo feature in case you change your mind and want some files back. Let's have a closer look at how it works.

Searching for Duplicate Files

When you open Easy Duplicate Finder, it asks you to drag and drop folders that you suspect may have duplicate files into the program window. If you don't like using drag and drop, you can also use a traditional file browser. Alternatively, you can add your whole drive to the scan area, and exclude the folders you don't want to check for duplicate files.

You can then select which file types you want to scan for (all types, documents, photos, music, videos, etc) - plus you can also set a size filter if you want to.

When ready, press the "Start Scan" button and wait for the scan to finish. The wait time depends on how many files you're scanning and the file sizes. For example, videos take longer to scan, while text files are usually quite small. Also, the scan will take longer if you enable byte-by-byte comparison in the settings. In the latter case, the program will look for an exact duplicate of the file - right down to the byte size.

When the scan is complete, Easy Duplicate Finder will tell you how many duplicates there are and how much space you can free up by deleting these duplicate files. A typical computer will have a couple of gigabytes of duplicate files.

The summary screen gives you three options: to examine the scan results, to delete all duplicate files automatically in one click, or to save the scan for future use. The latter is incredibly convenient if you have a ton of duplicate files and you need to take a break and come back to it at a later time.

Easily Manage Your Duplicates - "Go Fix Them!"

When you click on the "Go Fix Them" button, Easy Duplicate Finder will take you to the scan results screen where you'll see files sorted into groups, where one file is the original and the others are its duplicates. The program pre-selects the duplicates, which is very handy if you want to delete or move them in one click.

Easy Duplicate Finder has a really useful feature that lets you preview files before you decide what you want to do with them. The Preview feature supports all file types, which means that you can preview documents, music files, videos, photos, emails and more to minimize the risk of deleting something by accident.

When you finish examining the scan results, click on "Manage duplicates" button to choose what you want to do with the duplicates. Easy Duplicate Finder offers you to delete, move, or rename the duplicates. It also has a very neat option that allows you to replace duplicate files with a link to the original, which is a great space-saving feature.

Settings and Options

Easy Duplicate Finder has eleven scan modes, plus lots of duplicate management options. You can choose from several search algorithms and adjust the settings to find duplicate music, emails in Outlook and Mac Mail, check iTunes for duplicate tracks, and there's even an option to find duplicate files in Mac Photos app. There are also scan modes for Google Drive and Dropbox, so that you can delete duplicate files from your cloud storage.

Ease of Use

Deleting and managing duplicate files with Easy Duplicate Finder couldn't be any easier, nor faster. You can organize your files in literally a couple of clicks. What's really important is that the app has an undo feature, so you can restore the files you've deleted by accident, as long as you keep the program open.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a powerful, yet easy to use duplicate finder, Easy Duplicate Finder is a great option. It's accurate, intuitive and has the right scan mode for all types of duplicates. If you have a lot of files on your hard drive, it's a must-have file management program. Highly recommended!
