How can I find and remove duplicate files on Windows 10/11?
I was organizing my computer recently and found a lot of duplicate files. I don't know how to deal with them. I use Windows 10 and want to find a simple way to find and remove duplicate files. Is there any recommended software or steps? I hope to find all the duplicate files at once, clean them up quickly, and free up some space. Thank you for your help!
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.

You can manually search for duplicates using Windows File Explorer by sorting files by name, size, or date. Use the search filter to narrow down files with the same name or type. This is the simple way to find duplicate files on Windows 11 or Windows 10.
Pros: No need to install any additional software.
Cons: This method can be time-consuming and may not catch all duplicates, especially those with different file names.

Recently, when I was organizing my computer, I found that many duplicate files took up a lot of space. After using DupFiles Cleaner, the effect is really good. The scanning speed is fast, and it can clean all duplicate files at once, which helped me free up a lot of space.
