Capabilities

Built for real Windows environments

Every feature designed around IT-level requirements — compliance, safety, and auditability come standard.

🔍

Multi-source scanning

Scan local drives, UNC network shares, and Hyper-V VM folders simultaneously. All duplicate results consolidated into one report.

Local disk Network UNC Hyper-V
🔐

SHA-256 streaming hash

Three-stage pipeline: size → quick head/tail hash → full SHA-256. Large files are only fully read when they genuinely look like duplicates.

Safety-first deletion

Always keeps at least one copy per group. Choose Recycle Bin, quarantine folder, or permanent delete (gated behind a settings toggle). Nothing is ever automatic.

📊

Real space accounting

Measures free space before and after every operation. Cross-volume moves, renames, and Recycle Bin deletes tracked separately — no inflated figures.

Cloud file detection

Detects OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box placeholder stubs not physically on disk. Skipped and flagged — never hashed incorrectly.

📋

Immutable audit log

Every delete, move, quarantine, and restore writes a permanent row: who, when, path, method, bytes freed. Exportable to CSV, Excel, and PDF.

Hyper-V awareness

Detects .vhd, .vhdx, .avhdx, .vmcx, and .vmrs files. Skips locked VM disks automatically. Dedicated report flags duplicate ISOs, exports, and copied VHDX files on host storage.

🔄

Pause, resume & restore

Pause mid-scan and act on found duplicates immediately. A persistent control bar on every screen lets you resume anywhere. Restore deleted files or reverse a move at any time.

📈

Reports & dashboards

Pie charts by file type, top folders by duplicate data, recovery trend lines, and per-volume breakdown. Potential vs actually reclaimed — always clearly separated.

Process

Clean up a drive in three steps

1

Add sources

Pick local folders, drives, UNC network paths, or Hyper-V folders. Test network connectivity before scanning starts.

2

Scan & review

DupScanner indexes, hashes, and groups duplicates in real time. Pause at any point to review while the scan continues.

3

Clean safely

Select files to remove or move. Confirm once. Every action is hash-verified, logged, and reversible.

Before & After

Visualise the recovery

A typical 1 TB workstation drive reclaims 30–45 GB from duplicates alone — without touching any unique files.
