Czkawka (tch•kav•ka (IPA: [ˈʧ̑kafka]), “hiccup” in Polish) is a simple, fast and free app to remove unnecessary files from your computer.
Features
Written in memory-safe Rust
Amazingly fast – due to using more or less advanced algorithms and multithreading
Free, Open Source without ads
Multiplatform – works on Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD and many more
Cache support – second and further scans should be much faster than the first one
CLI frontend – for easy automation
No spying – Czkawka does not have access to the Internet, nor does it collect any user information or statistics
Multilingual – support multiple languages like Polish, English or Italian
Multiple tools to use:
Duplicates – Finds duplicates based on file name, size or hash
Empty Folders – Finds empty folders with the help of an advanced algorithm
Big Files – Finds the provided number of the biggest files in given location
Empty Files – Looks for empty files across the drive
Temporary Files – Finds temporary files
Similar Images – Finds images which are not exactly the same (different resolution, watermarks)
Similar Videos – Looks for visually similar videos
Same Music – Searches for music with the same artist, album etc.
Invalid Symbolic Links – Shows symbolic links which point to non-existent files/directories
Broken Files – Finds files that are invalid or corrupted
Bad Extensions – Lists files whose content not match with their extension
Your gratitude and finance will help me to continue integration of this QPKG and maintain up to date versions.
