dupeGuru 3.4.1

DupeGuru is a program that helps you find duplicate files on your computer. The program is easy to use, you just select the folder you want scanned and press the scan button. Once the program has found the duplicate files it gives you many options on how to manage them. They can be deleted, moved to a different folder or ignored.

The interface is clean and very well organized. The search options can be changed in the preferences menu. There you can select between 3 scan types. You can search by the filename, or by the contents. You can set the hardness filter (can bring up a lot more duplicate files if the setting is at maximum) and choose to ignore files that are smaller than a certain size.

The result list is very well organized, with the original files highlighted; and there is an option where you can show only the duplicates. Besides that, you can also see the type of files, the match percentage, the number of duplicates and the similar words that have been used. After the scan I was surprised to see that I have 720 mb of duplicate files only in the Program Files folder. After a full scan of my C drive I found a bit more than 3 GB of duplicate files, of course not all of them were 100% match. After deleting the ones that were a 100% match I recovered 1 GB, which is pretty good in my opinion.

DupeGuru is good software for anyone searching for duplicate files , or anyone wanting to clear a bit of space on their hard drive.
