Czkawka — fast file organizer and duplicate cleaner
Czkawka is a lightweight utility that helps you tidy up your storage by locating duplicate files, empty directories, and visually similar media. It uses a GTK-based interface and is implemented in Rust, which contributes to a responsive, low-overhead experience. The app is free and available for Windows users.

- Detect and list duplicate files so you can remove or relocate them.
- Identify visually similar images as well as comparable audio and video files.
- Find and report empty folders that may be cluttering your drives.
- Choose between removing duplicates permanently or moving them to a different location.
- Simple, GTK-driven interface built with Rust for snappy performance.

Alternative to consider
Suggested substitute: SHAREit (free) — primarily a file-transfer application rather than a duplicate cleaner, but it can be useful for moving large numbers of files between devices when reorganizing storage.
