Makesoft DuplicateFinder is a Windows application that helps you detect and delete identical packages stored on the desktop. There are customizable filters for focusing on specific items.

Search options

After starting the utility users can select one or multiple target directories. The next step is to configure advanced file matching parameters. It is possible to exclude certain data formats from the operation as well.

Like in liquidFOLDERS, you are able to limit the minimum and maximum filesize, filtering out the packages that are too small or too big. This functionality is especially advantageous for organizing:

Photo libraries;
Video collections;
Music catalogs, etc.

Removal

Users can view the list of identified duplicates upon finishing the scan. There are instruments for selecting individual items that will be automatically erased to free up extra storage space. Additionally, an option to save the list for further processing is included.

The software is capable of deleting target files permanently or placing them in the recycle bin to enable you to restore accidentally wiped packages. However, it is still recommended to create backup copies of critical data before starting the operation.
