Delete the Doubles With 'Double Killer'

Hello, Its a common problem of doubles...

PROBLEM:
There are many double files at different locations on my PC. How should I find them and delete the duplicates. Its a very time consuming process...

SOLUTION:
Here is a easy solution to it - 'Double Killer'.
DoubleKiller searches single or multiple directories for duplicate files by comparing any combination of file name, size, modification date and content. Using user-defined masks like *.mp3 or *.dll you can limit the scan to files that interest you or protect important files from being scanned. Furthermore you can exclude files in a particular file size range or files with certain attributes, like hidden or system files.
When the scan is finished a list containing all duplicates found is displayed and you can manually or automatically select the files to be removed. The result list can be sorted and exported to a textfile readable by both humans and spreadsheet applications
...

Features--


  • - Scans directories, complete drives or computers in your Network Neighborhood for duplicate files
  • - Freely combinable comparison criteria (file name, size, date and content)
  • - You can exclude files based on their name, file type, attributes or size
  • - Presents a list of all identical files so you can decide which ones to remove
  • - Deletes the files you chose or moves them to another directory
  • - Allows to export the result list to a text file.
How to use it:--

1. Firstly go to Scan Options, and add the directories which you want to scan. (Note: I prefer not to add the drive in which windows is installed. )
Click To Enlarge

2. Optional: If you want add certain masks like file names (files with the given masks will only be shown) and extension (extensions provided will only be shown).

3. Click on 'Run'.. File list creation will be started.
4. It will show you the sets of duplicate files. Sort them or delete them as you wish.
