    Is there an inbuilt duplicate file finder for windows 10


    I have downloaded hundreds of files from the internet. I have made some copies of them in different folders. Those files are taking a lot of space and it is really frustrating to search for each of these of files and delete them. I found many duplicate file finders searching the web but I don't know which one to trust since some free programmes install malware. I would like to know whether there is an inbuilt duplicate file removes for windows 10. If there isn't please suggest a good programme for it.

    Thank you.

    :)

    Ultimate duplicate photo finder

    Finding duplicate images is extremely hard . . .

    It depends an the criteria the software uses to find duplicates, file name, file size, meta data, pixel to pixel comparison, visual similarity . . . etc.

    So the questions I would ask of the software developer are:

    • what criteria is that software using to compare images
    • can you change the comparison criteria with that software

    Ultimate Duplicate Photo Finder not being able to find duplicates is not a Windows issue, rather an issue with the software you are using, namely Ultimate

    CCleaner Duplicate File Finder

    You need to be careful with a duplicate file finder program. Sometimes there can be a duplicate file but its a file, at least the file name, that two different programs have installed. If you delete one of them, one program will not run (or run correctly). For that reason, I don't use a duplicate file finder.
