I’ve used AnyDupeCleaner myself, and it saved me tons of time—just scanned, picked the dupes, and deleted them in seconds! Super handy if you’ve got messy folders like I did.

While Storage Sense is a super handy tool for finding and remove duplicate files on Windows 11, it's not really designed for hunting down and deleting duplicate files specifically. Unlike specialized duplicate file finders, Storage Sense doesn't have the smarts to decide which duplicate to keep and which to toss. It's just cleaning up what it thinks is junk, which could lead to you losing important files if you're not careful.

Wemaiah While Storage Sense is the default duplicate file remover for Windows 11 and is great for managing disk space by removing old or temporary files, it doesn’t scan for or remove duplicate files. If your primary goal is to find and delete duplicates, you’ll need to use a third-party duplicate file finder tool, as Storage Sense won't specifically target duplicate files.

To effectively find and remove duplicate files on Windows 11, consider using third-party free duplicate file remover for PC, which are specifically designed for this purpose. These tools will scan your system for duplicates based on criteria such as file name, size, and content, and allow you to safely remove them.
