Three ways to find duplicates

One app, one license — pick the mode that fits what you're cleaning.

🗂️

Files

SHA-256 byte verification

Exact duplicates only, confidence-scored and grouped, with keep rules to auto-pick what stays.

📁

Folders

Whole-folder clustering

Finds duplicated folder structures, not just files, and merges them safely with a full preview.

🖼️

Photos

Perceptual hashing

Finds similar photos even when they're not identical: bursts, exports, resizes, chat copies.

Why DupSweep

📁Folder-level duplicate detection — Finds whole duplicated folder structures, not just individual files, and merges them safely with a preview before anything changes.
🎯Confidence scoring — Every duplicate group gets a confidence score, so you know at a glance what's accidental clutter versus what might be intentional.
🖼️Smart photo similarity — Catches near-duplicate photos — bursts, resizes, chat compressions — using perceptual hashing corroborated by EXIF data, not just byte-matching.
🛡️Byte-verified, always — Every match is confirmed byte-for-byte before deletion, even on a fast scan, so nothing is ever removed on a guess.
↩️Full undo + audit trail — Every action is undoable and logged in JSON, HTML, and PDF, so you always have a record of exactly what changed.
🖥️One app, one license, both platforms — Works identically on Mac and Windows for a single 5€ lifetime license — no subscriptions, no per-OS purchase.

What you can clean

📥 Downloads & Desktop clutter

Installers, AirDrop copies, setup files, zip extracts, and "final_final" exports that piled up next to the originals.

💻 Coming from your old computer

A Migration Assistant copy (Mac) or old PC disk (Windows) plus files you dragged over often leave whole folder trees duplicated.

☁️ OneDrive

If OneDrive keeps a folder on disk, add that folder to the scan. Same SHA-256 check as any other path. Make online-only files available offline first.

🖼️ Photos & screenshots

Near-duplicates from bursts, exports, and messaging apps. See the similar photos page for perceptual hashing.

💾 External & network drives

USB disks and external drives work if mounted. Windows also scans network shares if they appear as folders.

Smart for photos, rigorous for files

Byte-for-byte verification + perceptual hashing. Nothing gets removed without proof.

🗂️

SHA-256 Verified Files

Duplicate matches are confirmed byte-for-byte before anything is touched — never just filename or size.

📁

Duplicate Folder Clustering

Finds whole duplicated folder structures, not just individual files, with safe in-place or copy-based merging.

🖼️

Visual Photo Similarity

Perceptual hashing (dHash + pHash) catches near-duplicate photos, not just exact copies.

↩️

Undo, Always

Every deletion goes to the system Trash first, with full operation history and one-key undo.

☁️

OneDrive folder

Point DupSweep at your OneDrive folder and find duplicates the same way as on any other disk. Make online-only files available locally first, then scan.
