How to find duplicate files on your PC?

Certainly all of us have gathered duplicate files on our disks over time. 

You can get rid of such files manually, but a much faster way is to use a special program.

AllDup (https://www.mtsd.de/en_download_alldup.php) is a free and quite powerful utility for high quality search of duplicated files on your computer and quick removal of the found redundant files.

The program searches, deletes, copies and moves duplicate files, including identical audio records with different tags.

using powershell script

i write a script to do that

that focus is on file size 
the trick is same file size and do file compare on same file size
this will isolate the same file  content from other with difference content inside
No need so troublesome.

Use this method. Less than 1 min,
can get rid at least 50% of disk space.
this program is better. very small exe files.

check for duplicates based on hash value, not just file size, so even you rename the file it can find out for you.

of course not
that is what  powershell is develop for

top MS OS engineer and OS support engineer MUST know how to write shell script
and
MUST signed the powershell script with a secure certificate so that no one can alter it
