So it is best to select specific user folders, don’t scan an entire disk unless you are an advanced user and extremely detailed.
** Technically you could choose to select an entire hard drive, but apart from the fact that the scanning takes a long time, it is also more likely to find faulty duplicates and this can potentially lead to problems, For example, a common library can be found across multiple apps and removing it could break the functionality of those apps, or for another example, you may have intentionally duplicate copies of a photo (or from the Photos app) and removing it could be a mistake. * You may need to right click and choose ‘Open’ to bypass the unidentified app warning from Gatekeeper in Mac OS, depending on your app’s security settings. It’s a good way to see how the app works.
This can lead to permanent data loss of files.įor users without duplicates but who still want to try this tool, or if you want to try a test with some known duplicate files, you can use the “Duplicate Exactly” feature in Mac OS with a file and then run DupeGuru where that file is included. If you do not manually confirm duplicates or if you do notup you may delete files that are not really duplicates. Also, DO NOT delete or modify files labeled as duplicates without support up the Mac and the files in question.
