    Find and Delete Duplicate Files using CCleaner

    CCleaner Duplicate Finder

    It is another useful feature of CCleaner using which you can quickly find and delete duplicated files on the system running Windows operating system.

    When user run duplicate file finder, it scans drives and folder for the duplicate files by file name, size, and last modified date. Once the scan is completed, it provides you option to delete duplicate files.

    The feature offers various checkbox which you can tick to customize where the tool looks for duplicate files. It will never delete your any file until you tell it to do so.

    Find and Delete Duplicate Files using CCleaner

    1. Launch CCleaner application on your system. Or you can download the tool from here if you’re not running it on your PC already.

    2. In the application switch to Tool tabs.

    ccleaner tools

    3. On the right pane click on Duplicate finder tab. You will see “Searches for duplicate files” screen. Here you can set where to look for duplicate files and what type of duplicate file tool must scan.

    There are three different section:

    Here you can mention for files that match by file name, size, and the file last modified date.

    Ignore

    Here you can specify to ignore the files by file size and nature

    Include and Exclude

    Here you can specify in which drive of folder scan for the duplicate files.

    4. After making changes when you click on the Search button, the tool will start looking for the duplicate files on the basis of your specification. You can also click on the Reset button if you want to alter the changes made above.

    In this case, the tool will scan C:\ and E:\ for duplicate files. Here is what I got when scanning process completed.

    Warning: Try to delete duplicate files like images, songs, videos and related file. Try to skip files duplicate files available in the Program file located in C: they might be files required to run the particular application properly
