Traditionally, we use the integrated Search mode in folders to find files on our computers. However, in reality, searching for files using folders is not very efficient and only supports searches by software or file names. If users only remember details like file name, size, format, or the folder containing the files, it becomes challenging to search. But this becomes much easier with the Duplicate Finder feature in the CCleaner junk cleaner software.
Discover Efficient File Search with CCleaner
Imagine you're looking for a game like Bloody Roar with a size of around 16MB. However, you can't remember the file names, only the size.
Step 1: On the CCleaner interface, select Tools.
Step 2: Continue by choosing the File Search tool in the Duplicate Finder section.
Step 3: To familiarize yourself with Duplicate Finder on CCleaner, you need to know:
Match by: display name, size, and date modified after searching for files on your computer.
Ignore: Search for hidden, visible, and system files.
You can specify the approximate file size range under File size under and over.
