Duplicate Files Search & Link

8.0.3

A duplicate searcher that enables you to look for similar or identical files on your computer and free up disk space without too much effort

As its name implies, Duplicate Files Search & Link is a program designed to help you locate and delete file duplicates, in order to clear some space on the hard drive. It can be handled by both first-time and skilled users.

Easily configure search parameters

The interface of the application is user-friendly. So, you can immediately start a search by establishing the target drive.
Experienced users are free to tinker with several configuration settings. For instance, you can include and exclude file types, set the minimum and maximum file size, look only for NTFS-links to the same files, as well as make the app ignore ID3 tags differences (in case of MP3s) and to skip symbolic links.

Decide what to do with identified items

Once the scanning operation is done, you can view the original files and their duplicates grouped together, along with their location, size, date and number of fragments. Simply select which items you want to get rid off and let Duplicate Files Search & Link take care of the rest.
In addition, you can save the results to file for further processing, use a search function within the results list, hide groups without the real duplicates, switch to a different language for the GUI, and make Duplicate Files Search & Link automatically check for updates online.

To end with

The straightforward software program runs on a moderate amount of CPU and system memory while looking for files, has a good response time, and quickly finishes a scan job (depending on the size of your hard drive) without freezing, crashing or popping up error dialogs. Unfortunately, there is no help file available, although Duplicate Files Search & Link's features can be seamlessly figured out, thanks to its intuitive layout.
