Find and remove duplicate files

#Find duplicates

1. Click your avatar, then Settings, and open Storage.

   

2. Under Find duplicate files, choose Search all files, or Search folder to look in one folder and its subfolders.

3. Check the results.

   Duplicates are grouped, the groups that waste the most space first, with how much space deleting them gives back.

   

#Delete the copies

• Select the copies you don't need and click Delete selected.

• Or click Delete all duplicates: Drime keeps the oldest copy of each group and deletes the others.

Confirm in Move to trash?. The copies go to the Trash: the space comes back once you empty it. See Delete files and folders.

To run the scan again, click Search again. If there is nothing to remove, No duplicates found appears.

#How Drime finds duplicates

• Files match when their content is identical.

• Files Drime can't compare by content match on the same name and size. Their group is marked Same name and size, check before deleting: open them before you delete anything.

• Folders, the Trash and computer backups are left out.

• Drime checks your largest files first, up to 50,000 files per scan.

The results don't show the folder each copy is in.
