How to Find & Delete Duplicate Files on Mac
Finding and deleting duplicate files on a Mac can be done manually, though it’s a time-consuming process. First, open Finder and go to “All My Files.” Sort the files by name or type, and manually identify duplicates. You can use “Get Info” (Command+I) to compare file sizes and creation dates to ensure they are identical. Once duplicates are found, drag them to the Trash. However, this method is inefficient, prone to errors, and may lead to accidental deletion of important files.
For a faster, more efficient solution, you can use Cigati Solutions Duplicate File Cleaner. This tool automatically scans your Mac, identifying duplicate files, including photos, videos, and documents, and allows you to delete them with a single click. The software ensures no important files are mistakenly deleted by offering a preview of the files before removal. It saves time, improves performance, and optimizes storage, making the process hassle-free.

I do this often, and I use the Finder’s search function. Very easy.
