How to detect and delete duplicate files on Android

1: Search and delete duplicate files on Android

Some apps, such as WhatsApp or Telegram, generate their own copies of the files they manage by saving a duplicate of the photos or files you send to the application folders, so that you can have the original photo in your photo gallery and duplicate files of the same photo in each of the applications in which you have used it, either to send it or to edit it.

Having duplicate files on your smartphone has a double negative effect because it makes the management of your files more chaotic and unnecessarily occupies a valuable space in the internal memory of your smartphone. You can avoid it by searching and deleting duplicate files on your mobile.

Fortunately, you will not have to do this by reviewing the folders on your mobile one by one as the Duplicate Files Fixer app will do it for you.

When you start the app you just have to give permission to access the file folders by clicking you have it and then mark the file types duplicates you want to find and delete, or simply mark Full scan to locate all duplicate files your smartphone.

Once the search option is selected, touch Analyze Now and start searching for duplicate files.

Check all the duplicates found by its necessary to mark or unmark a different file to remove it and click on the option Delete now that appears at the bottom.

This will remove all selected files and free up space on your Android.

2: Find duplicate photos or very similar

We have already seen that finding and deleting duplicate files on your Android is not complicated. But what if the photos are the same but the apps have changed the file name or when you have edited them has changed its size?

In that case, it is possible that the previous method will not be able to detect the duplicate photos that you keep in your Android since, to all intents and purposes, it is as if it were a totally different file despite being a duplicate.

For those cases, you can use the Remo Duplicate Photos Remover app. This app is available for free on Google Play and will be very useful to identify those photos that, even under slight variations, could be considered as the same or very similar images.

The app is very simple to use and simply start it and click on the Scan button. Next, start analyzing the memory of your Android by looking for similar or duplicate images to remove them.

When you finish your analysis, it shows the results for both images that can be considered identical, which you will find in the Exact tab, as those that have a certain similarity despite not having the same file name or weight, which you will find in the Similar tab.
