DupKiller official web-site

First Steps

First, in Scan Drives window check logical drives you would like to search for duplicates. Then in Files and Folders window choose file types to find, or check All files. Below choose folders to scan. After that in Exclusions window check file types (or masks) to be excluded. Also input folders which (with its subfolders) will be ignored during scan process

In the Search settings window choose criteria to compare files: by time, name size and/or content. If you choose comparison by content then you can set percentage to consider files as same (to show them in duplicate list). Also you may limit searched files size or check attributes which must be set (or not) in the files.

Other Options window gives opportunity to set search engine priority and other additional settings (see details in the Other Options window).

Removal window may be customized after scanning. And scan progress can be watched in Statistics window.

After scan finished, results (that is duplicates found) are displayed in duplicate list. Here you can remove unnecessary files.

Much detailed information about different file types search (and about simple one too) read in the Different File Types Search Settings chapter.

If you launch program with parameter (filename; e.g. list.dkl), then this saved list would be loaded. Also you can select command "Open with..." on a list file (and choose DupKiller).
