Duplicate file remover:
- The key benefit is the soft
ware is freeware and easy to install. It was recommended by PC World tool of the month, Oct2008. - During the test I observed the performance is really amazing. It lists out all the files comparing each and every file byte by byte.
- One major difficulty is the difficulty in checking the duplicate files. Some instance if we do a selection to the entire C drive it does a perfect job. The point to note here it does a comparison for the files and not name wise (means it compares the contents of the file). Hence, if we have 2 same files with 2 different names then also it pulls out and throws as duplicate file.
- The critical point is that it is not an user friendly tool and it is little difficult to remove thousands of duplicate files. It would be advisable to use this tool specifically to remove the high memory occupying media file and image(photo) file the formats of JPEG,MPEG ,AVI or any other media formats.
- Earlier this tool was having some bug that when we give the option of deletion. It completely deletes those files from the system. Now they have corrected and taken care of this issue in the latest version of the tool.
- It bifurcates and gives a visual view of the memory occupied by the original and the duplicate files. You might shock to know the fact that the memory occupied by the duplicate files would be more than the original/actual files.
In short it is a very good and an useful tool.
