VERDICT
Cisdem DuplicateFinder does what it claims. It finds all your duplicate files fast. Really fast. The results are presented and sorted in file type. So besides a nice interface it is a great utility.
I do miss however additional search settings. The delete duplicates option is a one trick pony. Delete duplicates and they’re gone in Trash or permanent > I’de rather see an option like Gemini 2 presents, store in a folder of your choice and delete at any point in time. But DuplicateFinder impressed with a solid scan and fantastic speed.
The situation could be frustrating and can go a long way to slowing down your system’s speed. What do you do at this time? There is need to delete those unnecessary files.
