H@L0_F00 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I found CloneSpy while searching for "portable duplicate file finder." It's got many different options and settings, plus it saves any settings to a .ini file, making it portable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sablefoxx Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 If you're using Windows, from command prompt use: dir /s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anitadayal Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hi. I ran into that problem too. And after days of searching I finally found this software: Delete Long Path File Tool. It's GREAT. You can find it here: www.longpathtool.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueHart Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) I need a program that will can a folder/HD and locate all duplicate copies of a file. any ideas of a good free one?? i frequent an image board and use flashgot to download massive amounts of pics at a time and end up with a lot of duplicates with different filenames. best tool ive found is clone remover http://www.moleskinsoft.com/index.php?p=download the free version has a delay before each use (last time i had to wait 90 seconds to use the program) and only allows you to remove 20 files at a time. the program basically scans w/e folders you tell it to for files with the same contents. it will then list those files and you can check off the ones you want to remove and it gives you the option to send them to the recycle bin or remove them completely. i use it under the free version. basically it gives me my list. i check off 20 items. remove them. rescan the files. and repeat until i have no more duplicates. edit: oh good lord i just noticed how old the OP is >.> topic necromancy ftl Edited December 24, 2010 by RogueHart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Guzman Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I had once used "Fast duplicate file finder" to locate some duplicate hidden files in my system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8igmac Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 These kinds of task are fun to automate your self... I have made a ruby script to find all movie files, delete duplicate, move all to another location and then delete original location... *.mkv *.avi *.iso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agnus Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 http://duplicatefilesdeleter.com/ is pretty easy to use, I believe you'll like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicalconfusion Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Ever think of using vbox with a distro like Knoppix which is loaded with GNU apps to find dup. files. Seems like your looking around for a utility that can perform binary comparisons. It exists in Linux and its free. You can figure it out...rather than pick your nose with the shareware.

ewook Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Here's a simple one: OUTF=duplicates.sh; echo "#! /bin/sh" > $OUTF; find "$@" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 md5sum | sort --key=1,32 | uniq -w 32 -d --all-repeated=separate | sed -r 's/^[0-9a-f]*( )*//;s/([^a-zA-Z0-9./_-])/\\\1/g;s/(.+)/#rm \1/' >> $OUTF; chmod a+x $OUTF; ls -l $OUTF Change sed -r 's/^[0-9a-f]*( )*//;s/([^a-zA-Z0-9./_-])/\\\1/g;s/(.+)/#rm \1/' >> $OUTF; to sed -r 's/^[0-9a-f]*( )*//;s/([^a-zA-Z0-9./_-])/\\\1/g;s/(.+)/rm \1/' >> $OUTF; if you wish to delete it when running the shell-script it creates (duplicates.sh). On windows? Well, mount your win-drive over smb and run it from a *nix system or cygwin it from within windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
