How It Works

Zero Duplicates makes finding and removing duplicate files simple with its intuitive step-by-step process:

1. Add Folders and Find Duplicates

   Click "Add Folder" to select the folders you'd like to scan, then click "Find Duplicates" to begin the scanning process.

   

2. Select Duplicates

   Select duplicates by either:

   • Clicking on a single duplicate file, or
   • Right-clicking (or clicking the menu icon) to make a batch selection of all files in the folder of the current file.
   

   Did you know? Zero Duplicates ensures that only n-1 duplicate files are selected to avoid accidentally deleting all copies. If you want to mark all instances for deletion, click the lock icon to disable 'Safe Selection'.

3. Delete Selection

   Final step – Delete Selection:

   • Move to Trash: Files are moved to the Trash, meaning they can potentially be recovered (no immediate space freed).
   • Permanently Delete: Files are immediately deleted and cannot be recovered, freeing up space instantly.
