This article talks about Duplicate file remover or duplicate file finders to find and delete duplicate files form the computer and make some space.

Every time I see the balloon on the taskbar which notifies me of my diskspace running out, I frantically run some tools to delete unwanted files and painfully delete some of the movies from my disk.

Until 10 minutes ago, I never thought of scanning for duplicate files and deleting them instead. Once that thought came to my mind I downloaded couple of softwares which do the job.

One of the free duplicate file finders I found better than others is called Easy Duplicate Finder. It’s easy to use and most importantly does not mess with your system files and other system critical files.

All you have to do is install the software and run a scan. Once the scan is complete it shows the duplicates in groups which makes it easier to select and delete the duplicate files.

Here is a quick rundown on the features this software offers.

Select a Drive or Folder to scan for duplicates.
Specify a file extension to scan for duplicate files.
Mention a minimum file size in Bytes, KB’s or MB’s. For example if you choose 100KB then all the files less than 100KB in size will be excluded from the scan, by default it excludes 0 sized files.
Skip system folders
Skip system files which extensions, .sys, .ocx, .drv, .dll
It shows the number of scanned files, total disk space occupied by these files, etc..

There you go. Click here to download Easy Duplicate Finder.

I hope I was not the only one who just realized that duplicate files can also eat up a lot of disk space, leave a comment and let us know what you think of the software and if it was helpful.
