What is Czkawka FOR LINUX?

Czkawka

Czkawka is a handy tool that's perfect for anyone who deals with lots of files and folders every day. If you often find yourself drowning in duplicates or random junk files, this free and open-source app is just what you need!

Why Use Czkawka?

This cool software helps you quickly find and delete duplicates, empty folders, temporary files, and even big files taking up space. Plus, it can handle invalid symlinks too! And by the way, if the name sounds funny to you, it's Polish for "hiccup"—how cute is that?

User-Friendly Interface

Now, when you first open Czkawka, it might look a bit complicated. But don't worry! Once you get the hang of it, you'll see how easy it really is to navigate. On the right side of the screen, there's an Image Preview feature. This is super useful for spotting similar images—you can turn it off if you want more room on your screen.

Organized Layout

The left side features a Notebook area for keeping track of your findings. In the center is where all the main results pop up, so you'll always know what you're working with. At the bottom, there's a Text Panel that shows important messages and warnings.

Selecting Directories

If you want to focus on specific folders, just use the panel at the top to include or exclude them from your search.

Advanced Features

Czkawka also comes with a command-line interface (CLI) for those who like to automate tasks. If you're looking for detailed instructions on how to use all its features, check out their official Instructions on GitHub.

Fast Scanning Capabilities

This app runs smoothly thanks to its modern GTK 3 design and smart algorithms. It even supports multithreading! What's great is that once you've run a scan once, future scans are much quicker because of its caching support.

Finding Duplicates Made Easy

You can search for duplicates based on their name, size, or hash value—whatever works best for your needs!

A Joy to Use!

Even though Czkawka's interface may seem busy at first glance, once you get familiar with it, it's actually pretty enjoyable! It offers all the tools necessary to help you find and remove unwanted files from your system efficiently. Download Czkawka now!
