In addition, if you have a voluminous drive and you want more control over how you go about identifying duplicates, you might find that TidyUp (Opens in a new window) is a more-rigorous utility, though it'll cost you $30. If you're frivolous with photos-a pre-existing condition for anyone with a smart phone-I recommend investing in a dedicated photo finder, such as PhotoSweeper. In fifteen minutes I manually identified several dozen duplicates. I know for a fact that this isn't comprehensive. Particularly in the case of my iPhoto Library, a sixty-gigabyte-cesspool of duplicates, Gemini flagged just four files (totally thirteen megabytes). My only real issue with Gemini was less that Gemini imperiled files, than that it overlooked them. Also in Preferences, you can request that Gemini automatically delete empty folders (a constant issue for me) or to concentrate on files of a certain size (say, one megabyte or larger). If you don't want to tamper with a networked file, folder, or extension, you can simply exclude it using Gemini's Exclude List pane (Preferences). Even then, the file is not permanently deleted until you empty your Trash.Įxclude Lists should prove a boon for anyone who uses cloud-based repositories such as DropBox or Google Drive. If you're certain that you want to delete the file(s), click Remove one last time, and the file will be literally shredded in an endearing visual effect. This opens another pane that prompts you to review your selections before proceeding. Once you've made your selections, you can click the Remove Selected button at the top of the window. First, ticking a box doesn't delete a file it's simply flagged. When it comes to deleting files, however, Gemini offers several safeguards. It's time consuming-especially for larger hard drives-but it beats losing track of a file because Auto Select retained a copy in some obscure folder. (You can, however, tinker with the Auto Select preferences). When it did work, I often found myself unchecking its selections. In my experience, Auto Select only made selections about fifty percent of the time. Users with older Macs can double-check their specs via the About This Mac menu. If you bought your Mac in the past three years you have the goods, and even if you didn't, you may still have updated your desktop.

Thanks to its availability in the Mac App Store, it's easy to download Gemini and keep it current. Gemini lacks the controls of some competitors, and it doesn't always find every duplicate (particularly those culprits in your iPhoto library), but Gemini does make searching for and removing duplicate files and folders as elementary as drag, drop, and click.

Whether redundancies run riot in your iTunes, iPhoto, Downloads, or Documents folders, Gemini makes ferreting them out fast, and even fun. MacPaw's Gemini (Opens in a new window) ($9.99) helps you free up hard drive space on your Mac by flagging and removing duplicate files.

With alluringly accessible apps, photos, videos, and songs, storage can be a precious commodity.
