Check for Duplicate Files Using the
Integrated Duplicate File Search
If multiple or constantly changing users store data on a system, you'll
find that files and sometimes even entire file trees have been
duplicated over the years. They use up disk space, so removing
duplicates is a task that should be performed at regular intervals. But
how do you find duplicate files?
The TreeSize duplicate file search enables you to look for redundant
files on your drives, folders, or network shares. It employs MD5 or
SHA256 checksums to safely identify files with identical content. You
may also search for duplicate files using a combination of file name,
file date and size, which is much faster.
In addition, TreeSize enables you to easily delete, archive, or
deduplicate the found files. It offers a variety of options to select
specific files for deletion or deduplication and leave others
untouched. Would you e.g. like to delete all but the newest file of
each duplicates group or files from a certain path? TreeSize helps you
to to define a pattern that check-marks all files matching the given
criteria. Once check-marked, you can easily move, delete, or archive
all duplicate files, using the option Move Items.
You can run duplicate searches automatically with the comfortable
TreeSize task planner in the Professional Edition, and let you email
the results.

You want to perform a duplicate search on a regular base or you have
very large file systems? Then try SpaceObServer, the database-based
disk space manager, which is able to collect MD5 checksums and file
metadata using a background agent and stores it in a database, from
where it can be retrieved in seconds. Besides identical files it can
also find similar folder structures.
