How It Works

unClone identifies duplicates by hashes (recommended), or just by file type and size. You review grouped duplicates and choose which files to delete. You can select files to keep based on folder names, file names, or both.

You can double click on any file to open it in your default application for a closer look before deciding. You can also double click on any folder to open it in your file manager.

You can decide to move all the duplicates to a folder or delete them directly. Before actually running the operation, you can perform a dry run to see what would happen without making any changes. You can check the log file to see what files would be deleted or moved.

Once you are ready to proceed, you can run the operation to delete or move the selected duplicates.
