DupeRazor Duplicate Files Removal Kit

DupeRazor Duplicate Files Removal Kit offers to help clear up space on a computer by seeking out and destroying duplicate files. While it provides great results, its speed was a major concern.

The duplicate remover's interface is very simple and only offers a few variations, which kept us on task. There is a brief Help file, but the program is intuitive enough that we didn't need it. The program offered us the option to alter the size of our scan from the entire C: drive down to a single folder through a simple file tree. The scanning process kept us updated by telling us how many duplicates had been found and what percentage of the area had been scanned. Once complete, a comprehensive list of duplicates was listed and allowed us to either keep or delete each. The program's finest feature was a small button that allowed us to view each dupe file before deletion, ensuring we didn't toss out important items, especially photos. While the program worked smoothly at discovering and eliminating duplicates, we were disappointed that the scan was so slow, taking several minutes to complete the job.
