You'd be surprised to see how much disk space you're wasting with duplicate files. In fact, you can actually check it with this tool. Duplicate File Detector scans your system and finds all duplicate files, no matter how hidden they are.

You can analyze the whole drive or set several specific folders, but beware of the filters the program uses as default, as they may sort out folders that you want to include in the scan. The process takes a while, but in exchange for your patience the program delivers a complete list of all duplicate files in your system. This list also offers a preview of each file, so you're sure of what you're going to delete before marking them.

Duplicate File Detector works with a wide range of file formats and can detect duplicates based on a large variety of criteria. In fact, there are so many configuration settings that it may feel a bit overwhelming at the beginning.

You probably don't realize how much drive space you're wasting with duplicate files until you scan it for the first time with a program like NoClone.

This tool has been especially designed to find any duplicate files on your hard drive, with a quite high percentage of success. You can choose between scanning the whole disk or just one certain folder, and of course, select the template used by the program to decide which files are duplicate and which not.

I think these templates are the main strength of NoClone: there are quite a few to choose from, including duplicate email messages and duplicate MP3 files. Also, you can create your own template by deciding the elements and features NoClone should compare in each file to decide whether they're duplicates or not, which is very useful is none of the templates included suits your needs.

Once NoClone finishes scanning the system, it displays a list with all the duplicate files found and enables you to delete them straight away, saving precious hard drive space. There's even a contest on the developer's website to see who saves the most space thanks to NoClone. The program also exports the list to several formats (XML, CSV or XLS; no HTML or TXT, surprisingly).

NoClone is a quick and easy way to find duplicate files on your hard drive, delete them and bring all those megabytes back.

I've been having lots of problems with storage space on my PC of late (i.e. I haven't got any). So, when I got the chance to try out NoClone Enterprise I was hopeful that I would recover some valuable megabytes - and I wasn't disappointed.

NoClone is designed to search your hard drive for any duplicate files that may be lurking on it. Often the main culprits are MP3 files, images, or temporary Internet files, all of which are mightily tricky to spot if you try and look for them manually.

This app does a wonderful job of weaseling them out though, and the process was a lot quicker and more painless than I imagined it would be. You just need to choose which disk, drive or directory to search. Alternatively, you can set the program to scan your Outlook folder for any duplicate mails or attachments you've got stored. The scan is then performed pretty quickly, giving you a list of all the duplicate files and an option to ditch them if you want. You can export the search results to several formats (XML, CSV or XLS), though strangely there's no support for TXT, HTML or DOC.

What I love about NoClone is the sheer number of variables you can apply to your searches. For instance, you can choose to only scan for large duplicate files (over 1Mb), zero-size files or just MP3s. With the ability to customize your searches and save search sessions, this is one intuitive app.

This Enterprise version of the program contains support for network drives, making ideal for companies with lots of users who upload and share the same files all the time.

If you're looking to clear some space on your hard drive, NoClone Enterprise provides a fast and effective way to do so by finding duplicate files on both your hard drive and local network.
