FIND AND DELETE DUPLICATE FILES
Trying to find your duplicate files?
You're probably going to need one of these tools...
Duplicate Cleaner Pro/Free (crack)
We've installed all of them and unless you're after some specific feature, CloneSpy gets our recommendation for having a light, clutter-free interface -- albeit one that is aesthetically outdated, but it displays just enough options by default. It's also free (forever) and can be run in "portable" mode without being fully installed, although you need to go through the installation process to get the portable folder.
If you only plan to run a few quick scans and then uninstall it, the software offers a 15 day trial but costs $29.95 for a lifetime license.
Although you have to uncheck crapware during its installation, Auslogics Duplicate File Finderis free and features a GUI that is about as modern feeling as Duplicate Cleaner yet walks you through the scanning process with a series of prompts instead of opening to a switchboard full of options.
As a final mention, DupScout seems like a decent alternative to CloneSpy if don't care about having a portable installation yet want a relatively clean interface that isn't quite as dated or barren (add a profile on the left to get started).
Didn't free up as much space as you thought?
Try looking for large files with one of these drive visualization tools...
Bonus: Mac users
CCleaner for Mac does not have the duplicate file functionality, but Duplicate File Finder Remover on the App Store comes highly recommended, with a ton of features on top of a very intuitive UI. Some advanced features are available at a cost, but that's entirely optional.
Two more recommended apps for macOS users: Trend Micro's Dr. Cleaner is free and offers a disk cleaner and big file finder. While Disk Inventory X is a dedicated tool to show the sizes of files and folders in a treemap graph, similar to the Windows example above
