Downloading files, copying from one location to another and many situations like this tend to generate lot of duplicate files which occupy lot of hard disk space unnecessarily. Moreover we sometimes have numerous  and same version of a file to confuse us which is latest.

Though windows provide us with time stamps, sorting etc but its a cumbersome job to find duplicate files like that. I remember doing when I was in college to hunt down all duplicate songs.

Clone Spy is a perfect answer for all of these cases. Its a powerful file comparer witch along with options of file size checking, name checking, creating check sum files makes it the ultimate duplicate file finder.

Features of Clone Spy

• Selecting folder is very impressive. If there are some set of directories which you need to check often, like your download folders, you can add them and save it as pool. Next time just load the pool and find duplicates.
• You can even compare two different directories or two set of pools. I like this one most.
• Create a check sum file.
• Dont want to delete ? Generate a report of files which are equal.
• Search by name size or just use default options
• While a duplicate file is found you can open it from there, select newer files etc and then choose to delete, skip or stop the scanning completely.
