Hey folks!
I’m in the middle of a big digital cleanup project — sorting through several terabytes of files before moving everything to a proper cloud backup service. I’m on Windows 11 and looking for a good tool that can:
Detect duplicate files (based on name, size, and preferably checksums)
Organize files by type (images, videos, documents, etc.)
Display file creation and modification dates
Let me move duplicates to a different folder before deleting them
A clean, functional GUI is a must. I’m not much of a command-line person, so while CLI suggestions are welcome, I’d strongly prefer something with a graphical interface.
Ideally, it should be open-source or free, but I’m willing to pay up to around $50 USD for something solid and reliable.
So far I’ve looked at AllDup and Duplicate Cleaner Free/Pro — has anyone here tried those, or got better recommendations?
Would love to hear what tools you folks use to keep your digital chaos under control. Thanks a ton in advance!
