Delete Duplicate Files offers to help users clear valuable space on their computer by erasing duplicates. However, its trial limits kept us from fully operating this program.

The program's interface was simple enough that following the onscreen instructions and navigating the layout was enough to get us started without visiting the topic-by-topic Help file. We found the entire process to be broken down into such simple components that it probably wouldn't take more than a few seconds to delete files. The program scanned files for content or by file name quickly, taking less than a minute, and the duplicate files were listed in a readable layout. The program also provides a wizard feature that walked us through a quick process to scan a single folder. We have to speculate, unfortunately, because the trial wouldn't let us delete anything. The program offers options to delete, shred or simply move a file, but we cannot say whether or not it works.

Delete Duplicate Files does not allow for deletion during its trial. The program comes as a compressed ZIP file and leaves folders upon uninstall. We cannot recommend this program since we do not know whether it successfully deletes files.

What’s new in version 6.7

Version 6.7: files enumeration speed increased for 10% on average.

I'm confused!! Does CNET RECOMMEND or NOT???
sparklark79May 8, 2015
Pros
Are there ANY?? Obviously CNET couldn't give us any, because they didn't have the full version of the software and the trial was extremely limited - but they still gave a good review??? Uh... That's a "Pro"?...
Cons
Pertinent highlights to CNET review: "We have to speculate, unfortunately, because the trial wouldn't let us delete anything." "... we cannot say whether or not it works." "Delete Duplicate Files does not allow for deletion during its trial." "The program comes as a compressed ZIP file and leaves folders upon uninstall." "We cannot recommend this program since we do not know whether it successfully deletes files." Let's review CNET reviewers!
Summary
I'm confused!! CNET rates this a 3 1/2 star "Very good" Review, but says, "However, its trial limits kept us from fully operating this program." And, "The program also provides a wizard feature that walked us through a quick process to scan a single folder. We have to speculate, unfortunately, because the trial wouldn't let us delete anything. The program offers options to delete, shred or simply move a file, but we cannot say whether or not it works." and, finally, "We cannot recommend this program since we do not know whether it successfully deletes files." What kind of effed-up review is THIS, CNET??? We RELY on your expertise to successfully guide us to USEFUL software - and you give a GOOD review on a product you CAN'T review or recommend???
DuplicateFilesDeleter easy fix for removing duplicates
markbunJune 16, 2013
Pros
good package
Cons
hope there's a freeware for testing this tool just to be sure of the product
Summary
I would recommend this software...
ricardokitkatApril 30, 2011
Pros
saved me 42.6 gigs of redundant files on my externat drive!
Cons
It could be more easy to use, if a more step by step instruction was included with this program and or maybe the option to buy a disc of it with directions would have helped.
Summary
I am happy with this softwares peformance overall, it would have taken me years to sort out my duplicate files... I would recommend this this program to my novist computer geek friends and the experts..now if they offered the disk it would be better for all....
Intuitive gui, great performances, no multi-language
jovo_dodikMarch 21, 2010
Pros
Delete Duplicate Files has a very intuitive interface and just great performances. Third strength of this program is it?s variety of options. It allows us to define comparison criteria, make custom filters, schedule automatic scans and more.
Cons
There is no multi-language support. Manual is outdated.
Summary
Not a usable version
jgluversFebruary 4, 2010
Pros
No pros here, this version is only a sales tool.
Cons
this version is not compatable with the earlier version and is not an upgrade.
Summary
When I downloaded this program, thinking that it was an update to the version that I had paid for a couple of years ago, It would not let me put in my registration number and not work at all as the version that it replaced. When I contacted the program owner he sent me to another download saying that my old program was too lod for the new update.. Well the update that he sent me to was not near as good as the first one that I had PAID for and now is no longer available.. Not happy
Do NOT buy this product!!!!!!
LynnGerhartJanuary 31, 2010
Pros
Was so angry with the service, I didn't even use it
Cons
EVERYTHING - IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, AFTER YOU PAID FOR IT
Summary
TOTALLY USELESS -- It claims it is free, until you do your scan, then it won't delete files until you pay. Fine. But then they sent the registrations *** 8 1/2 hours *** after it was paid for. Who waits that long for an ELECTRONIC registration??! When I had no choice to download another program, that was available immediately, they refused to refund my money.
doesn't get numbered duplicate files
5old13rOctober 28, 2009
Pros
free, small, simple
Cons
It failed to do anything. duplicate song names had numbers after them and it thought they were different files
Summary
It didn't get a single duplicate file in my music library even though multiples were right next to each other with a number stuck on the end of each name.
Not Free to Try
obriguyAugust 1, 2009
Pros
I don't know b/c it didn't work unless I pay.
Cons
Features disabled are deleting files...what you are looking for. Should say that the features disabled are the only ones you want (delete/move).
Summary
Fraudulent
derigo38January 10, 2009
Pros
Nothing. Look elsewhere.
Cons
Got msg that unlock code would be delivered w/i 48 hours. Needed it then--advertised as instantaneous download. Waited 2 hours. Nothing. Other email came in so it was not my link. LOOK ELSEWHERE.
Summary
Strongly urge you to look elsewhere. Refunds not honored. Fraudelent advertisement. Downloaded demo. Demo does not let u clean thumb drives--only certain c: folders. Figured it was demo restriction. Purchased product. Got msg that unlock code would be delivered w/i 48 hours. Needed it then--advertised as instantaneous download. Waited 2 hours. Nothing. Other email came in so it was not my link. Bought Duplicate Finder (R) instead. Instantaneous download/worked great. Politely requested E-gadget refund given delivery delays--declined even though ad never says u may not get to use product for 48 hours. Filing BB complaint and trying to force a PayPal refund.
Fast, accurate and easy to use
artemish85January 9, 2009
Pros
ease of use
Cons
not free, but fairly priced
Summary
Worth the money if you archive the way I do.
