Duplicate File Hunter is a helpful and lightweight application for Windows that helps users detect files with the same information and name.
Checks
There is a scan button on the main page which enables the program to start searching for similar data within the system. It is worth noting that the process may take a few minutes to complete especially when the disks are full with various files. When the checking is finished, users can view the results in which duplicates are marked with green shade. This may be videos, documents, images, audios, drivers and other software components of the computer.
Although the scanning might last up to 10 minutes, it does not bother the system resources. Users can access other applications and perform various activities without slowing down overall responsiveness.
Optimization
The program provides an easy way of optimizing the performance of the system by removing unnecessary data. To be exact, users are able to erase copies or similar versions of files to clean the disks and speed up their computers.
There are advanced filters which allow you to narrow down the search and check certain folders to see if there are any duplicates. Such an option saves a lot of time on scanning and does not delete important components that you would like to have in several copies.
