Great File De-Duplication Utility De Dup Duplicates

Fast Duplicate File Finder is a great program that comes in a free edition that works well to clean up duplicates. We had a client in the San Diego area who had made an accidental mess of his photos, this utility helped a lot!

I tried 3 programs I found in an article. Outright- do not install a program called "Duplicate File Finder" by Auslogics. You WILL get junkware.

Of the programs I tried, I got mixed results on how it determined which should be the master folder. Probably works fine between only 2 folders, but I got unexpected and inconsistent results from 3 folders or more.

The winner is free software called VisiPics. It will actually allow you to pick which is the duplicate to move or remove. I've attached the worlds fastest tutorial on how to use it.
