[00:02] red bar on your hard drive—it looks scary! This means your storage space is full, which can lead to a slowdown in your operating system. Well, here's the surprise: most of the files
[00:15] taking up a lot of space on your computer are probably duplicate photos. You download photos from social media, from your phone, from WhatsApp, from Messenger, and
[00:27] many of them might be similar or duplicates that you don't even know about. There might also be duplicate files, whether videos, audio files, or others. In this video, I'll show you a program that detects
[00:40] this video, I'll show you a program that detects duplicate photos and files and intelligently deletes them. This will save you a huge amount of space you wouldn't believe. There's also a very powerful feature that we'll explore very powerful feature that we'll explore together now. The program today is called
[00:54] 4DDIG Duplicate File Deleter. As you can see, this is the program's interface. I'll leave the link in the description and in the pinned comment; it's suitable.  For Windows devices from Windows 7 to Windows 11, and it's also suitable for Mac devices, of course. You click on Free Download, and the
[01:12] program will start downloading to your device. You install it normally, just click Next, Next, choose your language, and that's it. Then the interface you see here will appear. Now let's try it. First,
[01:24] see here will appear. Now let's try it. First, similar images. We'll click Start, then you'll start selecting the location to search for duplicates. It has selected all, and C and D are selected, meaning it will search your entire computer. But let's choose a specific folder for the
[01:40] video. I'll click Select Folder, then go to, for example, a folder called Pictures, then go to, for example, a folder called Pictures, then click Select Folder. If you want to clean your entire computer, you can select all, but for the video, we'll use Select All. Then click
[01:57] Search. Now let's see the magic begin. It detects see the magic begin. It detects similar images, not just by file name, but it also finds images that are similar in appearance. You might have taken a screenshot and images.  It's
[02:13] You might have taken a screenshot and images.  It's unnecessary; it detects this for you and divides it into groups, as you can see. Let's start by taking a group, for example, these images, or this start by taking a group, for example, these images, or this image is similar to this one, and so on. You then go
[02:27] image is similar to this one, and so on. You then go to the groups and select the similar images. So, this image is the same as this one, and this one as well—these are all similar images. You go to these groups and select the images as you see. Of course, if you did
[02:44] this manually, it would take a lot of time and effort, and you might even delete something by mistake. But this program shows you everything, as you can see, right in front of you, as they say. After you select the images, you click " Delete," and it asks you if you're sure. You say yes, and it starts
[03:00] Delete," and it asks you if you're sure. You say yes, and it starts deleting the deleting the similar images, as you can see. That's it, perfect. Now let's look at another feature: duplicates. We'll click on it, and then click "
[03:14] Start." Here, it starts detecting the files. Duplicate files, regardless of their type, can be found Duplicate files, regardless of their type, can be found through a drive or a cloud storage service like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox. Let's
[03:30] work on our hard drive first. Then, we'll click " Next." The process is the same: either select " All" or choose the folder or partition you want. For example, I'll select partition D. Then, I'll tell it to search, and it will create a nice sort of partition:
[03:46] Images, Videos, Documents, Audio, and Others. It will then search for duplicate files. We'll wait a bit and be back. Okay, it's
[03:59] 100% finished. There's also something called " Smart Removal," which automatically detects and Smart Removal," which automatically detects and removes duplicate files. However, this is a paid feature. Let's try the "Review" or "Duplicate Check" option. Here, it will show
[04:16] try the "Review" or "Duplicate Check" option. Here, it will show you all the files, or documents, including PDFs.  Here are the files and stuff, and here are the pictures, and here are the videos, and so on. Let's try it. Let's try the videos. We'll select a video, and here's the sorting option, which creates a filter system.
[04:31] We'll leave it as is, and it will give us a preview. Here are the files. For example, this video is duplicated three times. If you want to watch the video, you double-click on it, and it will start playing. Here's the video. As you can see, the video is 49 seconds long. We'll go to the
[04:48] you can see, the video is 49 seconds long. We'll go to the second one. Here's the same video, also 49 seconds long. This video is duplicated three times, and it shows you its locations. So, I can easily delete two copies. Here's another video. Here's the
[05:03] delete two copies. Here's another video. Here's the video. Okay, this is the video, so it's video. Okay, this is the video, so it's duplicated. Here's the video. Okay, you want to play it? Peace be upon you. How are you?
[05:31] one, it's duplicated twice, and this one is duplicated too, the same image, and so on. Then duplicated too, the same image, and so on. Then you click on "Remove to Recycle Bin," and then you'll see that you've deleted the duplicates. Now there's a really great feature,
[05:50] duplicates. Now there's a really great feature, which is the disk space analyzer. I always which is the disk space analyzer. I always have a problem with my C drive filling up. have a problem with my C drive filling up. If we go to C, we see there's only 3 GB
[06:02] left. So we'll go to the disk space analyzer, click "Start," select C, and tell it to analyze. I want to know where the space is, what files are taking up
[06:14] all this space. I haven't installed many programs; this is literally the reality, not just because I'm explaining the program. Okay, that's it, great. The search is finished. Now you see it categorizes the space for you. The most space is
[06:27] The search is finished. Now you see it categorizes the space for you. The most space is in the user accounts. Okay, here it's 131 GB, and Windows in the user accounts. Okay, here it's 131 GB, and Windows only has 34 GB, so I have the most space in the user accounts, so I start to discover it. Double-click on it, and it tells me the file with 130
[06:42] Double-click on it, and it tells me the file with 130 GB is named this. Okay, so I start going to it. GB is named this. Okay, so I start going to it. Here, UpData guides you step by step to the areas taking up the most space. See here, CapCat is taking up 94 GB. CapCat alone is taking up 94 GB. So, we start
[06:57] clicking on it again. Every time we click on it, it opens another folder. So here, CapCat opens another folder. So here, CapCat is taking up UserData, which is taking up 85 GB, and the application itself is taking up 9 GB. Now, let's go to UserData. Here, the cache has 81 GB. Now, let's go to the cache. Here,
[07:14] cache has 81 GB. Now, let's go to the cache. Here, SmartCrop is taking up 46 GB. If we go to it, it shows you the videos. I edited these videos and finished them, but they're in the cache of the CapCat files on the Windows partition. These are all
[07:29] Windows partition. These are all videos I don't need and they're still on the computer. So, you can easily remove the ones you don't want. You just drag and drop them here want. You just drag and drop them here in the Delete section, and so on.  Now you can take all the files
[07:45] you don't want, meaning these are only 4 GB. We will click on Review and Remove, so if you want to review them and see them, okay?  Then you press remove.  You want to take his route and go in and see for
[07:57] yourself.  This is the path, as you can see. If we go to the area like this, let's go back to it as it is, why?  Because it didn't permanently delete the files, they're still in the
[08:10] permanently delete the files, they're still in the recycle bin. If we delete what's in the recycle bin, it's safer for you to the highest degree. If we go back again, you see, it's 8 GB, it was a little over. I'll start now. After I finish the video, I'll have some fun and free up
[08:27] space so that I don't see this red mark. Of course, as I told you, it gives you a this red mark. Of course, as I told you, it gives you a free trial, but of course, to benefit from all these features, you might need to buy the paid version. And
[08:42] you might need to buy the paid version. And these are the program prices. I hope the video is useful for you. Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Yeah.
