Quickly find and erase duplicate files on your Windows device with Duplicate Cleaner.

After using your computer or tablet for an extended period of time, you might begin to realize that some of your files have doubled up. Files getting copied can take place for many different reasons, and it might result in some major issues down the road. If you are tired of wading through huge folders of identical files, then you might want to take a closer look at Duplicate Cleaner. This free piece of software will quickly find those files so that you can merge, delete, or rename them.

There are a few different reasons why duplicate files can become such a major problem. If you have an older Windows device with limited storage, then the duplicate files could slow your computer down by taking up too much space. Having multiple identical files can also make it very difficult to keep track of any changes that are made. After you alter a spreadsheet or text document, you might not be able to find it again. Those are just a few of the reasons why Duplicate Cleaner has become such a popular utility program.

The development team behind Duplicate Cleaner designed this software to be as user-friendly as possible, and you should be able to get it up and running in a matter of moments. After it has been installed, you will then be able to search for a specific file with a keyword or perform a full scan of the system. The keyword search is particularly useful if you know exactly which files are being duplicated. Unfortunately, this software only searches through the file names and the information in certain text file formats. If the keyword is in a spreadsheet or unusual text document, then Duplicate Cleaner might not be able to find it.

With the system scan tool, Duplicate Cleaner is going to search through every single folder in your computer for any documents that are identical. Once the scan is complete, you will be given a list of all the duplicate files that were found. You can then delete the files, rename them, or attempt to merge them. Before you carry out any of those actions, you should be absolutely sure that you are working with the correct documents. Recovering duplicate files that have been deleted can be a difficult and time-consuming task.

This simple piece of software is going to be very useful, and you might want to carry out the full system scan as often as once every few weeks. With a few clicks of the mouse, this program is going to clean up your folders and free up space on your computer.
