However, it&#8217;s important to note that this method can be very time-consuming and may not yield the most accurate results. The Smart Folder displays all files that might be duplicated, requiring you to manually select and remove them. The steps are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open <strong>Finder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>File \u2192 New Smart Folder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Click the <strong>Plus <\/strong>button to select <strong>search parameters<\/strong> like Kind, Date, and File type.<\/li>\n<li>Click on Other to <strong>add additional filters<\/strong>. For example, set Kind to Image and Extension to .png, .jpg, .tiff. Adjust filters as needed.<\/li>\n<li>Sort the <strong>files by size<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Open files with the same name or size to check for duplicates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution_3_Eliminate_Duplicate_Files_Using_Terminal\"><\/span>Solution 3: Eliminate Duplicate Files Using Terminal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Apple allows users to find duplicate files using the Terminal. By executing specific commands, you can identify identical files on your system. If you&#8217;re wondering how this solution works, don&#8217;t worry\u2014we&#8217;re here to explain it in detail. When using Terminal, it compares the sizes and MD5 signatures of the files and also performs a byte-by-byte comparison for verification. Here are the steps to find duplicates on a Mac using Terminal:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the Terminal app.<\/li>\n<li>Type the path to the folder you want to check for duplicates. For example, to find duplicates in Documents\/Folder, type:<br \/>\n<strong>cd Documents\/Folder<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Enter the following command and press Enter:<br \/>\n<strong>find .\/ -type f -exec md5 {} \\; | awk -F &#8216;=&#8217; &#8216;{print $2 &#8220;\\t&#8221; $1}&#8217; | sort | tee duplicates.txt<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This command will start checking all files in the specified folder for duplicates and generate a list of identical files. Review the generated list and manually delete any unnecessary duplicate files.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution_4_Search_Similar_Images_in_the_Photo_Library\"><\/span>Solution 4: Search Similar Images in the Photo Library<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Photos have become an essential part of our daily lives. Whenever we see something breathtaking, we tend to pull out our smartphones and capture the moment. However, this often leads to taking multiple repetitive images. These duplicate photos can consume unnecessary space on your device. To free up space, follow the steps below to delete identical photos from your Mac Photo Library.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the <strong>Photos <\/strong>app.<\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>Duplicates <\/strong>in the sidebar. The app may take some time to scan your library for duplicate photos.<\/li>\n<li>Once the scan is complete, you\u2019ll see a <strong>list of duplicate images<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Select and remove<\/strong> the unwanted items.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Note that by default, the system moves these items to the Recently Deleted folder rather than the Trash. Be sure to empty this folder for complete removal.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>If you want to efficiently find and delete duplicate files on a Mac, we recommend using Aryson File Finder &amp; Remover.
