The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Hi All!

my download folder keeps on getting messy because of duplicate files. im looking for an app that can auto-remove duplicate files automatically or move it to another folder for further analysis.

the duplicate cleaners that i tried needs to be run manually, i like it to be automatic.

any apps that can already do this? any tips on how to do it? even combining portable apps to do this would be nice.

Thank you!

I can't solve this directly but this might get you started ...

Most portable applications tend to lean toward the manual side of things just because running automatically means either some kind of system scheduler config or a program that's always running, which taxes RAM and resources. If it were me, I'd run something via PStart or Asuite that launches at a specific time daily and go to the command-line.

As most command-line applications are portable, you can probably find more that will do similar things.

I didn't have a lot of luck with Duplicate Files Finder, a portable program with an included command-line interface. There just wasn't a lot of documentation (or I didn't try hard enough to find it).
