It’s a problem that might need artificial intelligence more advanced than we have today. All of them find lots of duplicates, but are not always helpful in deciding which files should be kept, and which deleted. I’ve tried to use a few programs to clean them. Over the years I managed to create duplicates of quite a few files, especially photos. I’ve spent countless hours using file management software, starting with XTreePro and PC Tools in the 80s. I’ve maintained computer rooms and offices, and done tech support. I’m no stranger to computers that are slow and problem-ridden.

I’ve been using computers since 1988, and Macs full time since 2009. Scan Music Files and iTunes for Duplicates Scan Dropbox and Google Drive for Duplicate Files

Detailed Review of Easy Duplicate Finder.

What I Don’t Like: Some scans are very slow and listed false positives. Two flexible views for viewing and selecting the duplicates to delete. The automatic “Remove All Now” feature is pretty good at selecting the “original” file. What I Like: Scans for duplicate files are fast and accurate. If you have plenty of hard drive space free, or only have a few files, save your money. Or you may like to consider some of the alternative apps we list later in the review. Should you purchase Easy Duplicate Finder? If you’ve been running your computer for a while and have lots of duplicate files, the app can save you a lot of disk space as well as improve the organization of your files.

I found the file scan very good some of the other scans were lacking. Or you can review the duplicates and decide what to do with them. Once the duplicates have been found, the program can automatically delete them for you, while retaining the original file.

Easy Duplicate Finder helps you find and remove duplicate files on your computer and external drives, freeing up storage space in the process.
