Duplicate files tend to always make their way onto one's drives. These duplicated can either be small — making them hard to detect — or hefty, which will hurt your system by taking up important drive space. Hunting for these types of files is an easy task, especially if you know their name or location. On the other hand, there can be situations where duplicates are very hard to track down, due to the sheer amount of files they tend to hide among. Fortunately, there are ways to automatically detect duplicates, and they are usually third-party apps. Take Duplicate File Finder Plus, for example — a simple tool that does all the tracking for you, helping you get rid of unwanted items.

The app welcomes you with a selection panel. From there you can select what types of drives to scan, like system, CD, or network drives. Of course, if you are not aware of where the duplicates are located, the best way to go is to scan through all the drives.

Moving forward, you can select what types of files the app should look for and the size preferences. For example, let’s say you have a suspicion about some duplicate audio files that are between 128 MB and 1 GB in size. Check the boxes for "Audio" and "Large" and proceed with the scan. Using these filters will greatly reduce the scanning times, allowing you to find dupes without scanning the whole system.

Once a list of results is comprised, you can decide what's going to happen to them. You can either select all and deleted them, or individually access a file's context menu and move them to open its location, move it to another folder, copy its path, and more.

In essence, Duplicate File Finder Plus does what it's supposed to do, without putting your through extra hoops. With an easy-to-comprehend UI and a straightforward process, this utility seems to be worthy of the space it takes on your drive.
