Gurus,

Anyone out there have any good experience with a duplicate file finder
utility? I'm looking for one that comes with a personal recommendation.

Not bad. Bit odd, but works.

I use an app called PowerDesk6 and amongst its other handy features is
a file finder that can also be used as a standalone. They have both a
free and a pay version, the freebie being well endowed.
www.v-com.com/support/intro_PowerDesk.html
It's actually a Windows Explorer replacement with with a LOT more things
added onto it like the File Finder and single or dual panes a la the old
windows versions. It'll do Finds by path/name or folder or drive.
Faster than Windows search, too. Start with the freebie version; I
suspect you'll like it.

ACDSee it's a graphic viewer but does about anything you need done
including finding duplicate files (not just graphic extensions, all
files).

I still use 3.1 http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=acdsee

Many free ones out there. But remember, keep in mind that many apps want
to see the same file in their own folder.

A real file manager like Total Commander will do that, as will
dozens of other more specific dupe finding programs. Google.

For image duplicates or near-duplicates (adjustable), the best I
have found is called Unique Filer. It is not new (there /is/ a
new Beta version to test) and looks a bit funky but it is miles
ahead in usability and effectiveness than anything else I've
tried. It ALSO does all other files, not just images.

BTW, you should be aware SOME files are in more than one place
for a very good reason.

I've been very happy with DoubleKiller, a freeware program with lots of
options, available at:

http://www.bigbangenterprises.de/en/doublekiller/

They also have a Pro version, which isn't free, but I haven't tried it.
As someone else mentioned, though, be careful what you ask for--you
might get it, or lose it in this case. You can remove dupes that are
needed. Perhaps the others also do this, but DoubleKiller does not
automatically delete files; it displays a list of dupes and you can
decide for yourself which ones to delete.

Try Directory Report

Try Directory Report

I use Directory Report to find my duplicate files.
http://www.file-utilities.com/downloads/wdir.zip

It can find duplicate files based on the same:
name, size, CRC (32 bit hash) and/or comparing byte by byte

Duplicate files can be:
Deleted to recycle bin (safest)
Deleted permanently
Replaced by a hard link (must be on same disk)

There are many options so anyone should be able to customize it the way they want
