One way to increase the amount of free space on your hard drives or USB sticks is by using an adequate application that can find and remove any duplicate file, as the duplicate files are a well-known cause of uselessly wasted disk space. Programs like AusLogics Duplicate File Finder can help you with this issue without requiring any experience in handling this sort of applications.
The thing I like the most about using this duplicate finder is that it makes things very simple for me. More exactly, the application offers an intuitive interface and easy-to-configure scanning settings. The only thing I don't appreciate about it is that, during its installation, it offers to download and install unnecessary additional software. When it comes to completing the duplicate removal process, the program offers three methods to dispose of the detected duplicate files: to Recycle Bin, to the Rescue Center and delete them completely and irreversibly ("Permanently"). If you're not sure about your removal decision, you can send the selected files to Rescue Center so that you can recover them in case you need them later on.
From my point of view, an important advantage of using AusLogics Duplicate File Finder is that it also lets you scan for duplicates in the folders of any connected USB drives.
To be honest, I was very pleased with the program's performance as its scanning process was completed in a very short time, and it successfully located all duplicate files. Therefore, I see no reason why you shouldn't give this application a try too.
