    "JUNK, TRASH, MISERABLE"

    July 22, 2012  |   By john3347

    Version: DoubleKiller 1.6.2.82

    Pros

    Found no pros except that it seemed to uninstall satisfactorily.

    Cons

    I had something around 8000 to 10000 actual original photos with a collection of around 30,000 counting duplicates. After I deleted all the duplicates, I had 78,899 pictures. I immediately uninstalled the junk. Needs a ZERO star rating

    Summary

    This has been perhaps the least effective file duplicate finder I have ever encountered. It seemed to find the approximate number of original files that I thought I had and seemed to find approximately the same number of duplicates as I thought I had, but that was the end of the world. When it finally, after several hours, "removed all the duplicates" I had 78,899 pictures remaining. Near triple the total original number counting the original and duplicates. Didn't take but one sampling for mt to remove this application. Wish I could find a duplicate file finder that would function as advertised. Double Killer failed miserably.

    "Super fast, easy interface, 2 GB file size limit"

    January 5, 2012  |   By KIStoon

    Version: DoubleKiller 1.6.2.82

    Pros

    Very fast, allows file type exclusions, mask inclusions, attribute and min/max size exclusions. Only bothers to do CRC on identically sized (or named, etc)files (why bother otherwise, but I've seen other software that is a complete WASTE of time by doing a hash/checksum on EVERY file). Nice Delete/move interface.

    Cons

    Grrr... Isn't able to read file sizes above 2 GiB. That's where it'd clear up space the fastest. C'mon add support for LFS - none of the 32bit crud. Almost everything's on NTFS these days.

    Would also be handy if it listed "similar" files (identical name / size / dates as specified), and allowed you to exempt files prior to running the CRC.

    Summary

    NTFS - LFS
    My Hard drives are a big ol mess
    NTFS - LFS
    Big files - don't wanna have to guess...

    Pros

    Not applicable.

    Installation failed. FAQ link probided did not work. E-mail link to report error did not work. Log that was supposed to be sent with error report was blank. Not a good program if it can't be installed.

    "Light, Fast, Powerful, Shallow learning curve. FREE!!!"

    July 25, 2009  |   By jmillerjm

    Version: DoubleKiller 1.6.2.82

    Pros

    No installation needed. Works from any drive, even USB's. Processed a large number of files quickly. Can be installed in one location & pointed to any other drive or folder. Choices on how you want to delete batches, including Automatically.

    Cons

    It's not for dummies. No warnings if you are about to do something that will cause harm to your system, which is easy to do. The Menu Options for searching and deleting are limitied but, hey its FREE.

    Summary

    I used in folders with over 2,500 files and it didn't choke or bog down. It's easy to compare supposed duplicate files attributes to decide yourself if they really are duplicates. But you have to pay attention and read the screen carefully so you know exacltly what it is you are about to do with your files, esp in batch modes.

    "Allows you to delete duplicate files in batches."

    June 23, 2009  |   By jetcityem

    Version: DoubleKiller 1.6.2.82

    Pros

    This program allows you to delete any duplicate files and allows you to choose which duplicate to delete. Use it to delete JPGs or DOCs or other files you've generated yourself.

    Cons

    I don't really have any complaints.

    Summary

    If you understand how the program works, Doublekiller does it well. However, if you use it to delete files other than those you've generated yourself, you will screw up your system. Guaranteed. If you use to do delete system or other program files as I suspect the unhappy people have done, you will have a big problem. So be aware. Make sure you know how it works before you delete a lot of stuff, practise on test files before you go crazy with it.
