A person who spends a considerable amount of time on the computer is bound to come across a lot of clutter on their PC and it becomes really hectic segregating the types of files and sorting through clone files. An organized and well-maintained PC is very important for efficient working.
A few files to sort through may not seem like a very cumbersome task, but when identifying clone files in a large number requires help. You can use the Clone Files Checker to assist you in separating the files.
The Clone Files Checker is a user-friendly and elaborate tool to effectively declutter your PC.
To use the application you need to first install it on your PC. You can do so easily by visiting its official website. Once you have access to the app, follow the given rules to find duplicate word documents.
Step#1: Add Files to Clone Files Checker
As you might notice, your top-left corner displays a box with the ‘Add’ and ‘Remove’ option with clear indication as step 1. Add the paths to the tool where your documents are saved. You can easily add multiple file paths/folders if required and remove the ones you don’t want.
Step#2: Customize Scan
You can change preferences in the top box that is labeled Step 2. If you are not looking for a specific kind of file you can leave it on All Files.
Otherwise, you can specify the type of file by clicking ‘Custom’ and select the types of files that you require. In this case, it is Documents.
Step#3: Select Duplicates
Once the scan is complete a small Message-Window will open that gives an option to either run the Fix Wizard or “Review & Fix”. If you select the latter you can now select the duplicates that you want to fix. You can do so by clicking the ‘Select Duplicates’ button at the bottom. Select the files depending on which files you want to keep.
Step#4: Select Action
Once you have carefully selected the clone files, you can either choose to delete or move them to a new folder.
If you move the selected files to another folder, you have to specify the location on your PC.
Considering that you have a vast collection of files, you would want to keep a record of the similar files as well. The ‘Export Results’ option allows you to do this. The records are stored as a .csv file.
