Dupehunter, an application offered to Windows users in English and German, serves a very specific purpose: it can search for and identify duplicates. It looks where you tell it to look and, based on your specifications, uncovers duplicates. Now, the simple truth of the matter is that duplicates waste space and should be removed. That’s why Dupehunter provides you with several removal options: delete, send to the Recycle Bin, move to a specific location, or sanitize the duplicates.

Dupehunter will work on any 32 or 64-bit Windows edition, anything from Windows 2000 all the way up to Windows 8. To get the application up and running, you will have to download a 4.8MB executable, run it, and then follow the instructions presented by a setup wizard. You will be done with the whole thing in little time and without putting a lot of effort into it.

Buttons to access Dupehunter functions, features, and settings are available on the left hand side of the application’s interface. Click on them and you will be able to create a new job, load an existing job, access the results window, load results, access the Settings menu, view the Help, and close the application. You will see that navigating through the interface is a fairly straightforward matter.

Before Dupehunter goes and does its job, you must tell it where to look. For this you can use the box under “Define a search folder” or you can set up a new job – one of the steps in setting up a new job is telling Dupehunter where to look for duplicates. Another thing you must do before letting Dupehunter do its job is tell it what you want it to find – the nice thing here is that there are numerous parameters you can set up so that Dupehunter works just like you want it to work.

Once you’re done telling Dupehunter where to look and what to look for, let it do its job. In little time the application will scan the locations you choose and, based on your specifications, it will uncover duplicate files. It will, of course, present a list of results and offer to handle the duplicates either by removing them, by sending them to the Recycle Bin, by moving them to a location of your choosing, or by sanitizing them (sanitizing means securely deleting the files).

Dupehunter is not free, it is only free to try for a period of 30 days. A registration reminder will be displayed every time you launch the application.

Use the powerful application Dupehunter Professional to efficiently uncover and quickly remove any duplicate files from your Windows PC.

Pros

Dupehunter works with just about any Windows edition. Buttons to access all the features and functions are clearly presented on the interface’s left hand side. Tell the application where to look, set up search parameters, then launch the scan process; Dupehunter will quickly find and present a list of duplicates. Dupehunter also presents several removal options.

Cons

Free to try for a 30-day trial period; nag screen.
