    Will this solve my doppelganger problems?

    • +5

      Yes.. It can remove parallel universes too..🤓

    • I once found my doppelganger in London. Also found another in my own city. Small world.

      • the rare dreifachganger

    Great for the porn collection thanks..

      be careful. I tried it and it removed all the DVDA content.

      • +1

        Had to look up meaning of DVDA. Damn, I must be lagging behind in my collection :-p

      • I should think so, dvd-audio files would breach copyright

        Thanks for my LOL of the day!
        First heard this back in 1997 when Orgasmo (the movie) was released.
        Here are the ripper quotes from the movie -
        https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124819/quotes

        • I just spent a good 10 minutes reading through all those quotes.
          I gotta find the movie now to watch it!
          Dave the lighting guy sounds like a righteous dude! ;-)

      You double up on your porn? Amateur.

      • It's called double penetration. Definitely not for amateurs…

        • If it ain't lemon parties, it's amateur.

    CCleaner does this too and is free.

    • The deduper in CCleaner is rather basic though, a later addition to the program. It is the best program by far at cleaning up leftovers though.

  • I’ll consider using it but most likely won’t

      Thanks for letting us know.

      • It’s what do-glad you appreciated my efforts🙂

    Downloaded, but will not use. 5 stars, will download again! A+++++++

    (will use cc cleaner to cleanup my downloaded duplicates)

  • +3

    Alternatively, just get 6 Infinity Stones

  • Has anyone used this as well as CC Cleaner?
    Which one is better?

    • Ccleaner

    It is slow.

    Try this one - free and fast:

    Dup Scout v10.8.16 is the free one.

    Will it still remove thousands of duplicates if I only have a dozen files on my computer…???

    • +3

      What answer are you expecting?

  • +1

    Obligatory mention of CloneSpy because I still use it on the regular without issue

  • +1

    downloaded, seems painfully slow. About to remove.
    I've used duplicate cleaner free in the past and it goes through files at least 10x faster

    • Some dedupers perform an exact binary comparison of files (slow), while others speed up the process by computing checksums for the files (like Md5's).

      I use several dedupers depending on the situation. NoClone version 3 is fast for exact duplicates and has good auto-marking functionality (newer versions are completely different, inferior, and probably coded by someone else). Similarity (no free) is specialized at finding audio files with the same content (eg an mp3 and flac version of the same track, duplicates from different compilations, remastered versions…) VisiPics does a similar job for images (images have different sizes, watermarked and non-watermarked versions).

      But the Pro version of Digital Volcano's "Duplicate Cleaner" is the best allround, able to deal with exact duplicates, similar images, and similar music (you can specifiy which metadata tags to use, for instance). I occasionally need to purge my music and wallpaper collections of identical files.

    I use DupeGuru myself

  • would someone please suggest a good strategy how to remove duplicated sub directories mainly consisting of photos. I might have several copies of copies named like "copy of a copy" or "delete this" however they might not be perfectly identical, since I might have sort through some of them sometimes rotating the pictures or deleting few bad shots… how do I approach this? Picture by picture is just way too many. Any advice welcome, thank you! :)

  • great program
