Is there an easy way to check for duplicate files?
I've downloaded a lot of JPEG files, and many are duplicates. When I downloaded them, I gave them different names and therefore did not get the "already exists" warning. Is there some easy little trick that I should know about to check for duplicates? I'd like to be able to decide which of two or three names I want to keep. They are in a lot of different folder names. If I could just scan for duplicates by folder, that would help a lot.
I downloaded them at different times. I get a sample of images every week from Dover Publishing. I don't always remember if I have a particular one, and sometimes they are not exactly the same. For example, one may be from a coloring book that includes a description, another the same image but without the description. I'd like to keep both. And I'm afraid I'm not terribly consistent about which folder I put them in, either.

Glary utilities and Easycleaner are very good at that. But if you are looking for duplicates with different names, you will likely have to do that manually, which will take a lot of time.

Dear! Easy Duplicate Finder is a powerful tool to find and resolve duplicate photos, documents, spreadsheets, MP3's, and more! Removing duplicates will also help to speed up indexing and reduces back up size and time. Your computer isn’t fully optimized until you’ve removed all unnecessary duplicate files. Let Easy Duplicate Finder remove the duplicates!
Double Killer is yet another option. It is fast and easy to use and does a credible job and it has enough options to satisfy most users.
Fast Duplicate File Finder is yet another option. It is fast and easy to use. It also features two specialty searches: Graphics and music. However, these functions are now limited in the free version.
