Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1 Pro 64 bit system.

A German Company with name and address including phone&fax.

A small non resizable window opens to enter the search path, the search options. The window changes to full screen to display the search results (which can be unchecked).

And ... no this is not sufficient. Sorry.

The default options are identical name, size, attributes (why that?), but you have check the CRC option, if you want to find really identical files. But the you have to UNCHECK the useless identical name, size and so on options.

The result window is grouped in file sizes :

between 100 and 250 KB or between 1 and 2,5 MB and so on. Why not add file size between 5 and 7.5 MB or... Funny idea!

There you can delete those files, which are "identical" to your definition. The results can be exported and edited for whatever reasons.

This is a very simple program, it works in this restricted way. But a main point is missing for me:

If you want to compare drive/path X with your backup drive/path Y then you are lost. You cannot define different search pools and let the program delete automatically all identical files found in pool2.

I use since long the freeware CloneSpy. Quite often to find duplicates in large lists on different volumes. And a warning : never delete duplicates on your system drive. Windows has a lot of duplicates, which it NEEDS in the actual folders.

Uninstalled via reboot. Not good enough to be kept.

Thank you all for your comments.

@5 (Karl): Comment #10 of XP-Man is a good answer on this. Simply set the check box "Identical size", remove all other ones except "Identical CRC32 Checksum" and "Check ... for CRC32 checksum in a 2nd step...", then you have the behaviour you prefer.

@11 (Gene Diamond): Nice to hear that you like the program. And if it should be too expensive for you, be happy that it is free today from this website :-)

@12: By opening the 'Options' screen you can define anything to avoid that files like readme.txt, help.chm or uninstall.exe are found by the program, for example by searching only for files with identical creation date or by adding exceptions.

Keep on enjoying our free edition today!
