For a long time, I didn’t realize how much space duplicate files were taking up on both my Mac and my Windows laptop. On my Mac, I had multiple copies of the same photos saved from different devices, and on Windows, I found the same documents scattered in different project folders. I tried cleaning them manually, but switching between folders and checking file names one by one quickly became overwhelming.
Eventually, I decided to use the SysInfo Duplicate Finder and Remover. What impressed me was that it worked the same on both systems. I selected several folders at once—pictures, downloads, work files—and the tool scanned everything, even deep inside subfolders. It compared files by content and name and showed me exactly which ones were duplicates. From there, I could delete them permanently or move them to a separate folder just in case I wanted to review them later. Within a short time, both of my devices had far more free storage, and everything felt more organized. Using a tool like this made me realize that the best way to find duplicate files on Mac or Windows isn’t doing it manually—it’s letting something smarter handle the sorting.
