Find and remove duplicate files
Extra copies of photos, documents, and music eat disk space and slow backups. Doppelganger finds them — even when the file names are different — and lets you keep the copies you want.

“This is an awesome program. I have so far deleted 675GB of duplicate data!”
“This is the only program you need. Very intuitive, and when deleting duplicates you can choose which ones to remove.”
How it works
1. Scan
Point Doppelganger at the drives or folders to search. Wizards walk you through the options.
2. Select
Use the Selection Assistant to keep the newest copy and mark the rest, or pick files yourself.
3. Remove
Send extras to the Recycle Bin or a holding folder so you can restore them if you change your mind.
Please note: Keep backups of important files. Be careful when removing duplicates so you do not delete a copy you still need. Some files are worth keeping more than once.
