Computers sometimes create copies of files automatically, maybe as back-up or other. And in doing this take up hard disk space. It could pose a couple of problems for you. Clonespy helps delete such unwanted duplicates which could have exactly the same contents regardless of their name, date, time and location. Perhaps you have different versions of a file and you want to find all of them and remove the older versions. It can also find zero length files, which are files that have no content.

Here are a couple of features that I think gives a pass to the recently released version, CloneSpy 2.33:

• Added: A new check box in the scan progress windows makes CloneSpy close after a scan if results are exported or deleted automatically
• Added: If a log file is generated, it can now be viewed after a scan by pressing the corresponding button in the scan progress window
• Added: The date can now be displayed in different formats (see Time + Size tab of the Options window)
• Added: Folders entered manually in the Add folder window can now be added to a pool by pressing the return key
• Added: If a pool cannot be scanned because of restrictions in the Options window, CloneSpy now provides a better explanation about the cause
• Modified: The command line option -e is now ignored if results are to be handled by the user (see the Action frame of the Main window)
• Fixed: Solved some display problems when using large fonts
