FREE tool to identify and delete duplicate files!

timtom786timtom786

Anti-Twin is a small software application which compares files, i.e. it searches for duplicate or similar files on your hard disk drive. All similar or identical files that were found can either be sent to the recycle bin or directly deleted. This will increase the hard disk space on your computer.

Select the option “Compare file content” to compare the entire binary content of the files. This means that the file names are irrelevant. Here, the basic principle is: “Name is but sound and smoke - size matters! And never lose sight of the inner values.”

Anti-Twin is an excellent application to e.g. find and delete duplicate MP3 files in a download folder or to find similar images. Apart from that, Anti-Twin helps you clean up employees' chaotic file repositories in company networks, e.g. by searching for unnecessary file copies and redundant data back-ups.

Byte-by-byte comparison of user-defined files (file content)
Search for identical or similar file names
Pixel-based image comparison, e.g. search for similar pictures

    Because not everyone browses those sites devoted to free software and apps?

    I don't see why it could possibly bother you. It's not as if they are posted very often, and the freebie section is rather dead a lot of the time anyway, so it's hardly flooding it.

    Just a warning... if you accept the 'simple' install
    it adds the babylon search bar and defaults your home page etc
    And for some reason wants to later add ebay.de to your desktop also.

    So Select the 2nd install option on the 1st startup screen
    - and untick everything
    and later
    Untick add ebay.de (link to your desktop)

    Just take extreme care before deleting "duplicate" files.

    There are many sites out there devoted to free software and apps, Many have similar programs available on them. I'm not sure why freeware is continually put up on here.

    Gizmo Freeware is the best that I have come across.
    I actually think you are right. I could post a tonne of freeware, most of which won't be any good for ur pc. Take this for example, while the OP might have posted it in good faith, only someone with some knowledge should use a program like this. And these people would know of sites such as Gizmo Freeware.
    I voted hot because it's a good deal but so is Avast Free AV, MSE etc....

    I like ADCS myself, as a linux user I use rsync, but on windows ADCS does the trick for me!

    I appreciate people taking the time and effort to post, which I've yet to do. Is there a way to check for duplicate files already built into microsoft applications? I worry about downloading programs since Freecause on the Nectar toolbar tried to take over my browsing and copy my data.

    Cnet are safe to download from.
    There are many of these type of Duplicate File finders.
    They can save you a lot of space with modern media files.

    BUT be careful, if it is not something that you recognise, leave it alone.
    I have had to fix too many computers after the luser has deleted something they did not recognise, only to find out it was needed.

    Very useful IMHO

    Is it also possible to delete duplicates on my external HD?

    Fantastic. I ran this on my company's off-site server and now I've freed up over 14TB of data. The CEO is going to be really pleased to find out we don't need to expand the backup capacity - we can just use it all again!
