After a successful scan, you can eliminate all duplicates by right-clicking on the list of found files, and choose “Mark all” (or “Select all”) from the pop-up menu. Then all files listed will be selected, and you only have to press the Delete-key or click the delete icon on the toolbar.

However, this is method has one drawback: You are not in control of which files will be deleted and which will be retained. The reason is that AcuteFinder can’t tell which file is the “original” and which is a copy, since they are all the same. Try to use the option “Mark all but one”, or limit the search to specific folders or file types, and if you are using the Protection option to define which folders contain the “originals”, then this method is a great way to go.

This is a new blog site to help AcuteFinder’s users to share ideas and experience of using the program to eliminate duplicate and free up disk space on their computers.

We will post new and useful articles, every now and then, and please feel free to comment on the posts.  If you want to add a post yourself or become a regular contributor, please send us a note via our support page.

Currently, we are preparing the next release of AcuteFinder.  Please vote for the features you would like to see in upcoming versions.  Next version will include various new features, like:

• List of non-duplicated files
