Again there are multiple options about how the files are removed.ĪllDup also allows you to save the search results into a text or CSV file. Then you can use the toolbar buttons to remove, copy or move those selected files. You have to select all files except one from the group.

You can use the toolbar buttons to select the files in these groups in various ways – select all files in a group, select only smallest file in a group, select only first file in a group,select all except the newest file etc. After this you can go ahead and click on the Start Search button in the toolbar to begin the search.Īfter the search results are displayed, you can see all the duplicate files in the list grouped together. There is an option to scan the subfolders for each folder/drive that you add.

Some of the folders are already added by default, but you can add folders of your own choice if you want to in the Source Folders section.

You will have to select folders and drives that you want to scan for the duplicate files. You can extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP archive and run AllDup.exe from there. I prefer the portable application because there is no need to install it on your computer. The download is available both as a portable application and as a setup installer. You can download it from the AllDup website. The AllDup tool uses fast search algorithms to find duplicates of any file type, whether they are text files, pictures, music or movies. It is a freeware application for searching and removing file duplicates on your computer. If you want to get rid of all the duplicate copies of the files, then AllDup is a great tool. Although not harmful, yet these duplicate files take up the valuable disk space on our hard disk. Duplicate files exist on our computer for many reasons – downloading same file multiple times, creating a backup copy of some files, saving the same file in different locations and so on.
