Best duplicate finder software

[Mephisto_Helix]

I know there must be at least one mentioned in this section over the years but I'm not in a search mood and want some new recommendations. I need to clean up a few HDD's full of movies and jpegs and mp3's and I know there are hundreds of duplicates so tell me, what is your go to app for sorting that out?

Always had great success with DupeGuru.

There was one more specifically for photos I used before but now can't seem to find it.

Will give that one a go, thanks man

Glary Utilities.


And i think CCleaner does it too.

Fslint you can run off a livecd/usb and find duplicates on most common file systems regardless of OS.

I suspect one could probably run the cli version in bash on win10

Would you need to mount your windows drive before you can scan it with fslint?

How do you access a partition without mounting it?

On ANY OS.

I use Double Killer.
Very small lightweight app and very efficient.

Yes but these days things get automounted.

I've got 5 or 6 extern drives with content. Will also need to give something similar a try as I want to sort them out and free up 1 or 2 of them.
