Reviewed by: CNET staff on April 23, 2009
This free step-by-step file duplicate finder will help you quickly locate and delete redundant files; however, we recommend that novices proceed with caution when it comes to deleting any found duplicate files.
Easy Duplicate Finder uses a three-step process to quickly and easily locate and remove duplicate files from your system. Simply add the folders you wish to scan and define the file mask (all files, JPEG, MP3) from the drop-down menu. Click the Start button in Step 2 and the program very quickly displays any found duplicates. While the program is scanning your system, you can actively watch the numbers of files scanned, original files to duplicates, and the space used by said files. Using the export button, we were able to easily export the program's findings. Finally, we had to decide what to do with the files. We had the option of deselecting all files, renaming them, moving them to a folder, and deleting selected files. We went through each option, and all worked perfectly. The Settings menu gives you two file-comparison options (CRC32 and byte-by-byte) and help is available through the publisher's Web site.
The program does add extra desktop icons without asking and we had to manually remove some items after the program was uninstalled. Still, Easy Duplicate Finder proved to be a very thorough and reliable file-management tool, but because of the risk of accidentally deleting important files, we only recommend this program for more-experienced users.

Version: Easy Duplicate Finder 2.2.1
Pros: Easily finds and automatically selects duplicate files.
Cons: There's no option to ignore all files that can't be deleted. Every few milliseconds it throws up an error message saying that it can't delete a file. I spent 20 min clicking on error messages and the app only deleted about 1% of my duplicate files.

Version: Easy Duplicate Finder 2.2.1
Pros: The only one that can handle byte by byte compare of 2,000,000+ files without crashing.
Cons: wish it was faster, but that is all software.
Summary: searching a folder containing 2,400,000 files. Every other software I have tried crashed before even starting the check, this one handles it without a hitch.

Version: Easy Duplicate Finder 2.2.1
"Powerful even find duplicates with different file names"
Pros: Speed seems to be pretty good, the 1st drive I tried it on has over 150k files on it and it found all duplicates in less than 10 minutes.
Interface - easy to follow, color "coding" separates file names makes comparing across the screen much easier.Cons: No real cons, only enhancement wishes - would like an easier way to segregate duplicates once chosen.
Summary: Really a great tool for the person that either is over-redundant in duplicating or has trouble trashing files (might need it someday :-).
Simple to use, easy to follow interface.
Very quick.
A must "have" for helping keep your d... read more >> -
