USE CASES

When to use Find duplicate files?

Find strictly identical files in a folder, confirm candidates with SHA-256, then prepare a review plan without automatically deleting anything.

  • Prepare a folder cleanup before archiving
  • Measure theoretical reclaimable space without blind deletion
  • Document the copy manually chosen as reference in each exact group

GOOD TO KNOW

Limitations to know

  • Displayed savings are theoretical and assume only one copy is retained per group.
  • A SHA-256 duplicate proves binary identity, not which copy has the right business value, location or permissions.
  • Web Crypto must read each candidate in full; very large files can use substantial memory.
  • WorkToolset never automatically deletes, moves or renames original files.
HOW IT WORKS

A straightforward workflow.

  1. 1Select the folder: file sizes immediately exclude unique files.
  2. 2Run SHA-256 only on same-size candidates.
  3. 3Review paths and manually choose a reference copy per group when useful.
