When people usually use computers, they often download files from the Internet or copy files from other computers to their own computers. Over time, many identical files will be stored in the computer, and they will accumulate more and more, which not only takes up a lot of disk space, but also makes file management very confusing and inconvenient. How to solve it?
Today I will share a duplicate file cleaning tool - Duplicate Cleaner. This is the best file deduplication tool with the highest comprehensive performance that I have encountered so far. It perfectly solves the problem of file duplication.
1. Software introduction
Duplicate Cleaner is carefully designed and produced by the famous British DigitalVolcano software company. It focuses on finding and cleaning duplicate files and directories. The software can quickly find duplicate pictures and music based on content comparison methods such as byte, MD5 and other hash algorithms. As well as various other files, using the computer for a long time without paying attention to optimization and cleaning will inevitably cause a large number of redundant files.
2. Installation tutorial
Download the installation package, then double-click the installer to open the installation interface
Click Next, then check the box to agree to the agreement, and click Next
Then open the installation path selection page. You can define the installation path yourself.
Then enter the installation confirmation page, click install, and then continue
The program installation is quick and can be successfully installed in less than a minute.
After successful installation, click finish.
3. Instructions for use
After the installation is completed, then start the program normally. The main interface is as follows
Duplicate Cleaner has four search modes: regular mode, picture mode, audio mode, and video mode.
Normal mode
① Accurately match files by comparing hash values.
② Use a special algorithm to compare file similarities, and you can set the similarity yourself (for example, 90%). Similarity matching can be performed based on file name, extension, file size, creation date, etc.
③Ignore the content. Just the opposite of ②, that is, after ignoring some attributes, then search.
Picture mode
Special technology is used to find pictures that have been edited (for example: rotated, flipped, resized, edited, different formats, etc.). The software can set the following similarity levels: exact match, very approximate match, good, loose, custom, and ignore. Currently supports almost all mainstream camera RAW image formats.
In the picture below, it is recommended to check the fingerprint (use image feature value cache) option, so that future searches will be accelerated.
audio mode
Supports MP3, OGG, WMA, M4A, M4P, AAC, FLAC and WAV formats. You can compare the similarity of music, such as the first 2 minutes, the entire process, the first 15 seconds, etc. You can also identify according to audio file tags: artist, title, album, etc.
video mode
Supported video formats include: MOV, AVI, MP4, MPG, WMV, FLV, 3PG, ASF, 3G2, WEBM, MKV, VOB, M4V, MTS, SEC. Video content (thumbnails, selected frames, duration, hashes, audio tracks, etc.) can be compared.
