This freeware application is not stunningly beautiful, but it efficiently searches for duplicate files without regard to filename. DeDup's bland, basic interface is easy to understand and operate. It takes only four steps to do the job. You just add folders to search and click the Find Dups button. The utility finds duplicate files with blinding speed and displays their filenames and locations. You easily preset your preferences for file deletion based on distance from the root folder, file age, or length of filename. When you click the appropriate button, DeDup instantly deletes duplicates based on your preferences. In our tests, this simple tool ran smoothly and did everything it promised. This application performs a single function, but does it very well. Its small size and speed will make it a useful addition to any PC housekeeping toolbox.

Not the best freeware out there
CountryBoy178February 3, 2013
Pros
It does what it claims and finds duplicates
Cons
There are no bells or whistles, and it is lacking in options like exporting data and control over how the files are deleted (There is no way to select which file you delete other than the menu setting you choose for the entire list).
Summary
There are better freeware dup detectors out there like DupDetector which gives you optimum performance and full control over your deletions.
Try it if you can get it to work the way you want

Didn't work
rootdown42January 30, 2008
Pros
Good interface. Easy to use. Good at finding dup files, but...
Cons
...it failed to actually execute successfully. It found all the files, but I ran the deletion process numerous times and it didn't do anything! The program is so simple there's no way I was using it incorrectly. Big disappointment, cause the rest of it worked well.
Summary
superfast. you need some brain to take advantage of this programme

Pros
It forces you to delete all duplicate in one go. Later one may restore files from the recycle bin.
Cons
It would be better if deletion process had been more sophisticated.
Summary
No export function
mprugradJanuary 6, 2007
Pros
This program does as it is supposed to. It does find duplicates. It has a simple interface. It does seem to be stable.
Cons
After the report is generated, there is no way to export the data. Other programs out there (also free and available here), such as Double Killer or DupKiller, have this function.
Summary

Developer’s Description

By EmailPayrollServices.com

Search and remove duplicate files.

DeDup finds and optionally deletes duplicate files based on their contents, not name. It searches folders you specify and you can specify how to pick which file to save if you choose to delete files. The program is tiny and has only one dialog, which you can view in tabbed or untabbed style.

Version 1.01 fixes the Control Panel's "Add or Remove Programs" list error.
