Dupe Clear

When you are running low on free space on your PC, you should not only look into extending your storage space with external HDDs or SSDs, but also analyze your documents and remove duplicates.
Even if you are not aware of it, you probably have more instances of the same file and this leads to unnecessary occupied space. Dupe Clear is one of the numerous solutions that can help you regain free space.

Well organized GUI

The overall feel of this application is intuitive and its GUI neatly organized in tabs, so you can make your searches without any encountering any difficulties. You can define as many or as few criteria as you like, then explore the results list and remove the duplicates.

Supports multiple search parameters

You need to start by adding the folders you want to analyze, then choosing the criteria that best suit your needs: the results should share the same contents, file name, creation date, last modification date or type.
You can also exclude a sub-folder or certain extensions from the search operation, along with the hidden files and the system files and folders.

Preview the duplicates before removing them

Once you are done with the initial configuration, you can look for all duplicate documents and explore the results.
At this point, depending on the file format, you have the possibility to preview the files' contents before deleting them. If the extension is not supported by Dupe Clear, you can open the files with their associated third-party app.
By default, the app marks the duplicates to be erased, yet you can customize this action by setting it to keep only the newest files, or the one with the shortest filename. You can also choose to remove only the items from a certain folder or of a specific extension.

To sum it up

All in all, Dupe Clear can help you identify the duplicate content on your computer so you can free up some space or simply clean some of the clutter from your folders.
