Twin Files Finder helps you to find duplicate files located in local or network
directories. You can free disk space by deleting extra copies of files you did not even
know they exist (or you forgot about long time ago). You will be surprised what can you
find on your hard drives and how easily you can accumulate clutter without even
knowing it.
Twin Files Finder can search for true duplicates (files that have identical contents,
regardless their names or extensions) or search files with identical or similar names. It
can also search for any files matching search criteria (not necessary duplicates). When
searching for true duplicates program takes into account file size and 64-bit checksum
(CRC64) calculated for each scanned file. Then, fund duplicates are presented by the
program GUI and you can produce reports, compare files byte-by-byte, use third party
comparers to visually see file differences, preview files in variety of formats, delete
unwanted copies or simply reorganize your data.
Twin Files Finder can help you to reclaim disk space wasted by all the extra copies of
files. It will also help you to reduce number of files on your disks, streamline backups
and virus scanning, resulting in less time and less media space needed for these activities.
To Start:
1. Launch Twin Files Finder executable.
2. Enter new search criteria or select predefined criteria from the toolbar Search
Profile
combo box (expanded combo box on the screenshot below).
3. Click Start toolbar button (first button from the left of the toolbar).
Alternatively you
can initiate search by selecting from program main menu File/Start Scan menu item.
And your search is already in progress...
When search is in progress, Start toolbar button and File/Start Scan menu item are
disabled (grayed out). You can only press Pause or Stop toolbar buttons (or
corresponding items from main menu).
After search is completed (either after exhausting all search directories and files or by
user action Cancel), small pop-up dialog window is displayed showing basic search
statistics (scan duration, how many files/directories were scanned, how many groups
were found etc.).
