Is this real life?

I can’t remember the last time I took the time to write a review for an app (shameful, I know), but I just freed up over 40 gigs of dupes from my precious hard drive (I upgraded to an SSD but couldn’t afford more storage). This process took *maybe* 15 minutes. No more than that, though.

I am absolutely ELATED! After having tried (and paid for some) multiple duplicate cleaner applications that left me with pangs of fear, utter confusion, and aggravation, I reluctantly decided to give this FREE app a try. Impressed hardly scratches the surface of how I feel about this application.

Unlike the majority of the apps you’ll find in the app store who promise to deliver efficient duplicate eradication for one particular kind of files (one for music, one for photos, etc.), this application covers all elements. After tinkering around, I found that it was possible to scan my entire hdd by clicking on “select folder”, highlighting the home folder for my hdd in the left sidebar, and wallah! Everything in one clean shot. I did carefully scan over the selections, but everything was so clearly organized and cleanly displayed; it didn’t take long at all.

I also double checked a couple of files by clicking on the “info” option to be sure that each duplicate file was the same size. In other apps, particularly for photos, it would pull up all of the duplicates for one particular photo, but it would place thumbnails, faces, and photos that had different resolutions… so sorting through everything was a clustermuck… and I was always scared to death that I missed something and might possibly be deleting extremely precious memories. That being said, this app does not do that. It strictly locates proper dupes and cleaning them up is an absolute BREEZE with the “multi-select duplicates” option.

I LOVE YOU, PCVARK. I LOVE YOU.
