Note however we’re not as fond of CCleaner as we used to be and there are better alternatives these days. If you’d rather not add any additional third party software to your system or learn your way around a new file explorer, it’s worth mentioning that CCleaner has a duplicate file finder built in (Tools > Duplicate Finder), if you happen to use that already. Those of you using the powerful File Explorer alternative Total Commander may know already that it includes the ability to search for duplicate files (it’s on the second search page) among the dozens of other features it provides over the Windows File Explorer aimed at power users. This isn’t helpful, of course, if you don’t know which files have duplicates. Without installing third party software, your only option is running a search for a specific file via Windows Explorer and manually deleting the duplicates that appear. While there are many options for accomplishing this sort of task with batch files or PowerShell scripts, we assume most people would prefer something that doesn’t involve a command prompt. Windows doesn’t make it easy to deal with duplicate files all by itself.
