dupeGuru for Windows

dupeGuru is a tool designed to help you find and eliminate duplicate files on your computer. It offers a safe and quick way to scan and update large numbers of files, saving you time and effort. With dupeGuru, you can scan both file names and contents, allowing it to search deep inside documents. It not only identifies files with identical names but also finds similar file names.

One of the standout features of dupeGuru is its ability to use a special algorithm, known as the Power Marker, to differentiate between genuine duplicate files and files that are just similar. This ensures that you don't accidentally delete important files. However, there have been reports of dupeGuru wrongly marking some files as duplicates and occasionally missing some duplicate files.

The latest version of dupeGuru features a sleek new interface, making it more user-friendly. However, accessing the preferences can still be a bit cumbersome, especially if you need to customize the search settings for each scan. It's worth noting that dupeGuru ignores files under 30MB by default, but this can be deactivated.

Overall, dupeGuru is a powerful and efficient tool for eliminating duplicate files and reclaiming valuable space on your hard drive. However, it's important to exercise caution when deleting files, as it may occasionally misidentify duplicates.
