Duplicates

Your computer may store files with identical file names and identical content. These duplicate files clutter up memory, take up space on your hard drive and make your computer run slower. You can find duplicate files and delete extra copies using the Duplicate Files feature.

The search for duplicates is performed automatically in the user's folders once a week. If the search discovers files that have the same name and identical content, the application displays a notification. The notification can take you to the search results window.

To remove duplicate files:

1. Open the main application window.
2. Go to the Performance section.
3. Select the search area in the drop-down list in the Duplicates section.
4. Click the Search button.
5. In the search results window, select the files and click Delete.

Duplicate files will be removed from your computer, while the original data will be preserved.

To turn on automatic search for duplicates:

1. Open the main application window.
2. Go to the Performance section.
3. In the Duplicates block, click .
4. This opens a window; in that window, clear the Duplicates check box.
