Remove duplicate image files
How often do you have to face the situation when there is low free disk space in the hard disk? Certainly often. I know myself. After each such situation it is necessary to solve the same dilemma – what to do. To delete files which it’s a pity to delete (and sometimes it’s simply impossible) or to spend a lot of money to buy a new hard disk?
However, it’s only one situation when it’s necessary to make such choice. Actually the problem of not optimum usage of the disk space is not limited by this. One of the reasons of this situation are duplicate files – i.e. the copies of files which appear on the hard disk for various reasons. Today we’ll talk about one of the most widespread types of duplicate files – about image clones and how to remove duplicate image files.
What are duplicate image files? Obviously, pictures, photos and others images, to be exact – copies of these files. Actually, there can be a lot of such files. Remember how many image files you keep on the PC? Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands? Even if to image that clones are only the tenth part of all this collection, the problem of how to remove duplicate image files is serious.
Program Clone Remover pays much attention to duplicate image files. So you can choose a special option «similar images» which allows the program to search for duplicate files among the files having such extensions as jpg, gif, etc. in the window of the choice of duplicate file type to search and remove.
Having chosen the option you can pass to the next window and choose the directory to search the duplicates. Remember the more the volume of the chosen directory (or the more files it keeps) the more time it takes to search for duplicate files. For this reason, if you’re not going to do the global “clean up” of the hard disk, you’d better to choose the directory where you usually keep image files – for example, in folders Images, Pictures, etc.
Other interesting innovation of the program is the possibility to search in archives and network disks (by the way, you can also create them by means of Clone Remover).
Now when the directory is chosen and the search is executed you can choose the variant of what to do. To remove duplicate image files is not an unique variant. You can also move them to the Recycle Bin or copy.
