Title: Duplicate File Remover
Post by: kevin on September 12, 2012, 12:26:37 AM
  Duplicate File Remover


    This program scans a folder (and any sub folders within it ) looking for duplicates of  the same file. The files are compared byte level, not a file name level.   When a duplicate file is found, it's moved to a deleted folder inside the original scan folder.  

    The original program was created to clean up my personal download (i.e. junk) folders, works well enough for my needs.   Speed wise it's pretty reasonable, given we're talking about scanning folders with 25000 files (4 gigabyte)..  


WARNING:

    Misuse of this program can DELETE YOUR FILES, moreover it's had next to NO real world testing and should NOT be used on folders of any value to you!


>>>>  USE AT YOUR OWN RISK <<<<
