AcuteFinder - Find duplicate files


Want to free up space and reduce clutter on your disks?

AcuteFinder will help you to find duplicate files on your system and delete them. It's simple, easy, and safe to use, and costs as little as $14 to buy.

AcuteFinder not only takes into account items like file name, size or timestamp, but reads through possible duplicates and calculates their checksums. This way, it is guaranteed that the files are really identical, and you can delete the extra copies with full confidence.

AcuteFinder can find files that have different names, like "my.doc" and "Copy of my.doc". Basically, if files are of the same size and have the same checksum, they are considered identical. AcuteFinder uses by default CRC32, a 32-bit checksum, but you can choose to use MD5 hash (128-bit) as a final step in file comparison for even more accuracy.

As easy to use as 1-2-3

Using AcuteFinder is easy — you just have to:

Define search criteria and press the Start-button
Review the list of found files, and mark those you want to delete/move
Delete or move those files!
That's all there is to it. You can select one or many files at a time, using the Windows conventional method of holding the Ctrl or Shift-keys while clicking with the mouse.

Alternatively, you can select all files listed using Ctrl-A and press Delete for fast cleanup of duplicate files. AcuteFinder by default retains at least one file from each set of duplicates, so you can rest assured that one copy will remain. See our Flash-demo on how easy it is to use AcuteFinder (800 kb).

Why use AcuteFinder?

AcuteFinder can help you to reclaim disk space wasted by all the extra copies of files, which is especially important on "limited" resources, like laptops and memory disks. Even though disk space gets cheaper every day, you need to keep your files well organized. Otherwise you will sooner or later, simply fill your disks with clutter.

Also, file sizes tend to increase with all the fancy multimedia presentations, music files, digital pictures, and so on. It can be VERY difficult to determine if such files are really identical, without a comparison tool like AcuteFinder.
