Duplicate File Remover

Very simple to use, & quick, but so simple you can't quite tell what it's doing. For example, at the end of the duplicate scan it presents a list of duplicates with certain files marked iwth a check-mark - what does that check-mark *mean*? Are these the files slated to be 'cleaned' or the ones slated to be *kept*? Makes a difference and the only way to find out is to hit the button! Similarly, once you hit the button, there's no button. Fortunately it does the right thing and merely stashes the cleaned files in the Trash folder, so they can be restored if needed. In selecting files to 'clean', it offers several choices, by name, by date, by size, etc. But it doesn't allow combining these tests, ie to test by size AND name. Many files may have the same name, eg "Track 12", but very different sizes or file types or folder locations. Without presenting these details, it's very difficult to ensure that real duplicates get 'cleaned', not just name-alikes.

Its quick, simple and easy to use but there is no way to make any nuanced decisions about what gets removed from where, or to see what exactly is getting removed. There ought to be some advanced options.

Easily scanned and detected files with the same file name. The reason for four stars is because it would be better if there were thumbnails of the each duplicate file so it would be quick and easy to verify the pictures and files were indeed duplicates.

Needs a thumbnail view or something. I don't want to indiscriminately delete files without seeing verification first. I've seen it match 2 unlikely things together. That being said, it will quickly scan and find lots of duplicates.

This is a quick way to remove any and all duplicates, is easy to use, and I believe proficient. Thanks for a product that works.

This app looks at file name only. Since we have had more than one digital camera which used the same naming convention, we had thousands of duplicates even though they had different dates. There is no way to cancel without unselecting them all. I was trying to find a way out of the application and may have deleted many many photos. There is no cancel button. I hit escape and it stopped. Even though I have a backup I do not have a way to assess what I may have lost. Stay away from this app!

I despise the ads, at times they get in the way of clicking what I want to click on. I was wondering if there is a pro version i can buy with out all the ads. Also, It would be nice if it had a drag and drop to scan feature. Over all it is a great app, and has done exactly what it was intended to do

" somewhat brand new " It has been about a while and still working good again thanks. My photos on new laptop like to duplicate. I found some settings for reason for duplicates. I am still being patient about the others. I have back up folders and there backed up so go figure. figuring some of that, remember sometimes you have to run several times , open and close windows for app to get more, but again thank you.
