Hello.

Windows 11, 23H2

Does anyone know of any free program to check for duplicate files in the same folder?

That is, in a folder with many subfolders in several steps.

The ones I found only compare files in two folders.

What type of files?
If they're images files you can use the below, portable or install.

Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder - Find and Remove Duplicate or Similar Images

Just make sure subfolders are selected in the search settings.
