USING CLONE FILES CHECKER

Delete obsolete duplicate files with Clone

Files Checker. It is quite useful if all sorts of

duplicate files are wiped out from time to

time. This may save a considerable amount

of your disk space.

There are two ways. If you’re a beginner,

you may use Auto-Fix feature and use

program’s default settings to quickly delete

duplicate files. Advanced users can erase

individual files. When taking an action,

you’ll be prompted to delete files

permanently, move them to Recycle Bin or

to a new folder. It also works safe as files

are backed up.
