Organizing files can be a headache sometimes. It is hard to keep track of too many files and folders and there is always a strong possibility that your folders will contain duplicate files. You may create duplicates without knowing. A simple slip on the mouse button and the files that you were clicking and dragging may end up in an unknown location. DoubleKiller's purpose is to seek and destroy any "cloned" file you might have on your hard drive. It comes with fast scanning capabilities and it allows you to eliminate duplicates instantly.

Instead of going through an installation process, you can just download and unzip the application's executable and run it right away. Besides DoubleKiller's standard edition, a Pro version is available as well, which is not free, but it provides more features. None of these versions take up more than one MB of disk space, so they can be used on any computer, even with older hardware.

DoubleKiller's options are organized on separate tabs. You have to start with the scanning options, where you can target an entire partition or individual folders. The software is quite flexible when it comes to scanning for duplicates. You can set the program to ignore files with specific extensions or focus only on file types of your choice. Furthermore, you can tick a series of options if you want to leave out system files, items with certain attributes or sizes. When your settings are complete, you just need to click a button, located in the lower left corner of the interface, and the application will start scanning right away.

You don't have to worry while using DoubleKiller, because it won't delete anything unless you tell it to. The program will find any files with the same name, size, content or date and it will display them in a list, arranged in duplicate sets. The available options, next to the results list, allow you to select the first or last duplicates from all groups or select them by other criteria, so you don't have to scroll down the list and manually select every duplicate you find. Finally, you can move the selected files in a specific location or delete them.

Pros

The software can locate duplicate files quite fast. It places various selection options at your disposal, so you don't have to scroll through a list and click multiple files. You can set the program to include or exclude specific file types or to ignore system files.

Cons

There are no serious issues to mention. Your hard drive will not contain any duplicate files while using DoubleKiller's powerful and flexible features.
