# Using Decloner

Decloner is a simple application that performs one task well: it searches for duplicate files in the locations of your choice and helps you eliminate them, freeing disk space.

## To get rid of duplicate files:

Choose locations to scan for duplicate files.

Choosing where to scan

Start the scan and wait for it to complete. If you have many files in the chosen locations, this can take a while. You can continue working, but be careful not to create or delete files in the locations being scanned, as well as any iPhoto/Aperture libraries you have selected, or you may get inconsistent results of the scan.

Starting the scan

Explore the list of duplicate files to find which files to delete.
