We highly recommend the WinUtilities Duplicate File Finder to Find and remove true duplicate files from your disks. Even the contents of the files are checked, unlike many other similar tools available, and it is fast. It can find duplicate files spread across different drives and can search using a variety of requirements.

• Find duplicate files based on same size or/and same filename or/and same contents using file content CRC, etc.
• Scan for either only particular types of duplicate files like mp3, zip, mpeg, etc, or all files. Allows wildcards.
• Fastest and Safest duplicate file finder.
• Skips important system duplicate files.
• Built-in ignore list to prevent novice users from deleting important files.
• Scan either some folders only or selected drives for duplicate files.

Benefits:

• Find duplicate files in your disks and regain disk space.
• Avoid problems due to duplicate files.
   

Features:

• Extra Safe: Uses a built-in ignore list, and will exclude many important files from being scanned. You can also add your own files to the ignore list easily, and they will not be found again. This prevents important files like DLLs, windows system files from being listed as duplicate and getting deleted accidentally.
• Find duplicate files based on criteria : filename, size, contents, etc.
• Can find either specific types of duplicates like *.mp3, *.mpeg, etc (can be customized), or all types of files.
• Fastest and safest among duplicate file finders as far as we know. User friendly, easy to configure.
• Can optionally ignore files below certain size to find space wasting large files.
• Can find duplicates across different drives or folders.
• Can find duplicates from a selected set of folders (i.e., not from whole drive).
• Allows important folders you wish to be excluded from scanning altogether.
• Can use wild cards.
• Can find true duplicate files, files which are identical.
