So to cut out a load of boring waffle for you, I need software to detect duplicate files.
I've tried Auslogics (as it was free) and it seemed to work well - for 100% identical files.
However, I have a ton of files that are 99% identical. By that I mean I have files that are basically the same but they have a -1 at the end of the file name. The rest of the file name is the same, the file size is the same, if they're a video then the duration is the same - but one will have a -1.
So we're talking about a file like: mycat.jpg and then another file called mycat-1.jpg ... where they're the exact same picture.
Is there such a software for Windows that can detect duplicates in this manner? I swear I must have many GB I could free up. I've already done 10GB off of 1 small subfolder.
It's a problem globally, but certainly more obvious with life/death results in that situation. I do hope that it gets to the right people, and assists the country to lift itself out of poverty and secure prosperity for future generations there.
