What is dupeGuru?
dupeGuru is a free, open-source app that finds duplicate files on your computer, including files with slightly different names and photos that look almost the same. You choose a folder, review the matches it groups together and then delete, move or copy them, so cleaning out years of copies takes a few clicks.
