Windows 10: is there any software to comparing files???

For example, I have a couple of hard drives that are storing tens of thousands of files. There might be some files that are identical. Is there any software that can check all files in the drive to see if there are any files that are identical ? The software should not check only their filename but also the content of the files. The same filename does not necessarily mean the identical file.

Is there is any software to transfer files from DVR to Windows 10 OS and would like to editthe commercials.

I own a digital video recorder (DVR) that is full of movies.

I want to know if there is a program on Windows 10 that will allow me to transfer movies from DVR to my computer and able to remove sorry cut out the commercials.

If not is there a program that will do that, that I can download and is safe from virus and every thing else.

Thanks for your help

Is there any cleaning up software to make resources free ? antivirus ?

I strongly recommend Sk tools if you use a non touchscreen device: SKKV Software. If you use a touchscreen device, try Cleartemp from Mobile SG - Anything About Tech.

Works on Windows 10 too. The interface might be confusing at first but it does what you are asking for.

 

CCleaner has one under tools. I have not used the Content filter yet.

Google "doublekiller"

 

How about windows original command fc.exe

It works, but I'm not sure it would be suitable for the task that the OP is facing; i.e. comparing "tens of thousands of files".

AFAIK it has significant limitations:

• The exact folder locations of the files to be compared must be explicitly entered
• It can only compare the contents of a maximum of two folders at a time.
• The files to be compared must have the same exact name, otherwise misnamed duplicates can be missed.
• There is no built-in function that automates (preferably by a GUI) a summary display of duplicate files and a means to deal with them (i.e. choose which duplicates to move, delete, etc).

Doublekiller, which I referred to above, is a simple, elegant GUI program which addresses every one of these deficiencies.
