ABSTRACT

In modern computing systems, the collection of duplicate files causes problems ranging from wasted storage space to poor system performance. To address these concerns, a sophisticated program called the Duplicate File Searcher and Remover has been created. Using modern data deduplication methods, the program effectively detects duplicate files by comparing checksum data stored in a centralized database. Users can relocate duplicates for further examination or completely eliminate them, depending on their needs. Key goals include maximizing storage utilization, increasing data efficiency, and streamlining file management processes. The program caters to both administrators, who benefit from sophisticated file management features, and regular users, who enjoy smooth file uploading and management capabilities. By removing superfluous files, the utility improves system performance, speeds up indexing procedures, and decreases backup size and time. Overall, the Duplicate File Searcher and Remover is an important tool for improving data management, maximizing system efficiency, and increasing user productivity in digital contexts.
