AI-enhanced Duplicate File Finder

Haydon · Jan 3, 2024

I am looking for a duplicate file finder app that mimics and automates what a human (me) would do in finding and getting rid of duplicate files. I am mostly interested in consolidating my Documents folder which however also contains closely related pics and music snippets, so the app would have to be cognizant of documentary, pictorial and musical content.

Is there one?

In another post a few above yours this was just discussed. Many duplicate files are where they are for reasons. I used a duplicate finder app once about 2 years ago, well NOT good..lol. It totally messed my system. I had to reinstall windows. Not fun. I dont trust any of those apps. Good luck in your venture just thought i would chime in a tell you my trajic outcome I had. Not saying they cant work just that id say you really need to know what your doing or else bad things happen.

Well, there is a reason why I added the adjective 'AI-enhanced' in the title of this thread. You and the other discussion did not use an AI-enhanced duplicate file finder app.

An (any) AI-enhanced app can be trained to avoid disaster (and trained for effectiveness, efficiency, etc.) In short, I'm looking for a robotic cleaning lady for my Documents folder LOL
