Select Preferences from the View menu to see DupeGuru's various options. Step 5: Find duplicate files in other ways This is often a better option, since you can delete the files later, when you’re completely sure you don’t need them.

Then, using the Actions menu, you can delete the duplicates or move them all to another folder, regardless of where theyĪre currently. Once you’re satisfied that the duplicate files have been correctly identified, select Mark All from the Mark menu to select the duplicates. Step 4: Delete or move the duplicate files That shows how confident DupeGuru is that the files are the same. The list also shows the size of each file for a quick manual comparison and a Match column It’s worth limiting this scan so that it completes quickly while you familiarise yourself with the program, so click the + button and select your My Documents folder, then click the Scan button.ĭupeGuru will then scan the selected folder and display a list of files that it thinks are identical, based on their content, with the ‘original’ file highlighted in blue. Launch DupeGuru and you’ll be asked to select which folders to scan.

Be sure to use the correct version for your operating system, including 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows.
