Wise Duplicate Finder Portable helps free up drive space by finding and deleting duplicate files by name, size, or contents. Installer version is also available.
Once installed, you are presented with two options. First, you select a folder or folders. You can choose your entire drive; however, we've never been a fan of this, as Windows has duplicate files you don't want to delete. Next, you select how you want to find duplicate files:
Match Name and Size (Fastest)
Partial Match (Fast)
Exact Match (Slow)
0 Byte files
These four options narrow down exactly how you will find a duplicate file. 0-byte files can be helpful to get rid of garbage primarily. You can add as many folders as you like and remove folders from scanning with the X next to those already selected.
Wise Duplicate Finder Portable is free, fast, and efficient. There is a pro version available in the $15.00 range, but we can't find its limitations. Typically this includes support and automatic updates, for example, but if you find Wise Duplicate Finder useful, it's hard not to kick in fifteen bucks to say thanks.
