Duplicate and Same Files Searcher (Duplicate Searcher) is an freeware application for searching duplicate files (clones) and NTFS hard links to the same file. A NTFS hard link is the file system representation of a file by which more than one path can refer a single file in the same volume. This utility searches duplicate file contents regardless of file name (true byte-to-byte comparison is used). This application allows to delete duplicate files or to move them to another location, but to replace duplicates with NTFS hard links as well.
Features of this application;
- Fast search engine (byte-to-byte comparison and hard link detection algorithm are used)
- Detailed visualization of duplicate files, NTFS hard links and junction points
- Shows fragmentation of files
- Shows compressed NTFS files in color.
- Manual and filtered selection files to delete, move or replace with references.
- Allows to move and delete.
- Allows to replace files with NTFS hard links
- Allows to compress files on NTFS volumes.
- Allows selecting disks and folders to scan.
Duplicate Searcher works well with Windows 2000, XP, Vista as well as Windows 7 with Microsoft .NET framework 2.0.
