Find duplicate files effectively by

Over the years, have you imagined that the number of duplicate files stored on your hard drive can reach thousands?

If you don't believe it, use the duplicate file hunting tool called 'Duplicate File Detective' to verify this.

' Duplicate File Detective ' (DFD) not only has the ability to hunt down all files with the same name but also has the ability to list all files of equal size.

You just need to spend a little time to learn that you can use the main functions of this attractive tool, basically as follows:

- Check the icon for the hard drive to find the duplicate file in the ' Search Paths ' section. DFD has marked all available hard disks by default. At first use, you should use DFD to hunt down your entire hard disk for an overview of how it works. In fact, on subsequent uses you just need to use DFD to hunt down hard drive data partitions.

- Once you have selected the hard disk partition, simply click the ' Run ' button so DFD starts the file hunting process. The file hunting speed depends on the processing speed of the computer as well as the total number of files contained on the hard drive.

- When the search process is complete, DFD will list the entire list of duplicated files as well as full information about such files: file name, size, initialization date, location . In addition, DFD provides you with detailed statistics on the results found by different chart types. You can click on the ' File types . ' tabs at the bottom for reference. You can save this list by clicking the ' Export ' -> ' Export Duplicate File Report ' button that will appear -> select the output file format as HTML, CSV or XML -> name and find the location save the output file in the ' File Path ' -> button then click on the ' Export ' -> button when the file creation process is complete and the notification file will appear for you to review.

- To free up more space for the hard disk as well as convenient file management, you should delete unnecessary duplicates or compress them to 'continue from scratch'. Mark all files that are not needed in the list listed by DFD -> If you want to delete them completely, click on the ' Delete ' button ; If you want to compress them, click the ' Zip ' button; If you want to move them into a folder, click the ' Move ' button.

DFD also equips you with a very unique feature of ' Filter ' (with a blue funnel). You just need to type the keyword of the file you want to find in the ' Filter ' box, which is all duplicate files related to the keyword that will appear for you to handle. This feature is extremely useful for scouting out the necessary files in the pile of thousands of duplicate files found.

You can also limit the process of finding duplicate files using the features in ' Filter Criteria ' on the left hand side of the main interface. Here, you can define duplicate file search formats by time, file type, file name, etc.

The company is selling Duplicate File Detective 1.5.1.5 for $ 34.95. Users can go here to download a trial version of about 4.1 MB or find an official version at software stores.
