It is worth noting that the program offers both a Windows and macOS version.
WEBMINDS EASY DUPLICATE FINDER REVIEW FOR MAC
I tested Easy Duplicate Finder for Mac thus the screenshots below are all taken from the Mac version. The Windows version will look slightly different if you’re on a PC. Scan Files for DuplicatesĮasy Duplicate Finder can scan your Mac’s hard drive (or part of it) for duplicate files. I chose File Search from the scan mode selection on the right, and added that folder to the list on the left. It took just a few seconds to scan the 5,242 files on my MacBook Air, which is faster than I expected. Even on my iMac’s 1TB drive, it took just five minutes to scan 220,909 files. Go Fix Them, which lets you review the results and make your own decisions.Remove all the files Easy Duplicate Finder has identified as duplicates, keeping the originals.Open the Assistant for a few cleanup options.831 duplicate files were found on my MacBook Air, which were taking up 729.35 MB.
It does require a level of trust that the app has correctly identified which file you want to keep, and which it can safely delete. The app does a pretty good job at picking which file is the original and which are the duplicates. In my tests, files that were only slightly different were not identified. Generally, this is a good thing, though there are times that it would be good to see close matches as well, like MacPaw Gemini 2 can do. When deleting the exact duplicates, you can move the files to the trash (safer), or delete them permanently (faster). Using the demo version of the app, just 10 of my duplicates were deleted. It’s nice to see an Undo button in case I deleted the wrong file. The Assistant allows you to select which duplicate is not deleted: the newest, oldest, or the one the app identifies as the original.īut often it’s worth reviewing the results yourself.
