Publisher's Description
From CloneSpy:
CloneSpy will free up drive space on your PC by finding and removing duplicate files. Clonespy is also able to find files that are not exactly identical but have the same filename. This allows you to remove any older versions. Furthermore, Clonespy can find zero-length files. Those are files that do not have any content. Altogether with CloneSpy, you can process files which - are duplicates - have the same file names - are duplicates and have the same file names - are zero bytes long.

Below are the pros and cons based on cnet.com review [https://download.cnet.com/CloneSpy/3000-2248_4-10061675.html]
Pros
Quick scans: CloneSpy completes computer scans quickly, so you don't have to worry about having your machine tied up for any length of time. Once it presents you with the results, you can decide which files to get rid of. The app deletes the selected files quickly for you as well.
File types: You can choose to scan for files that have the same file name, a different file name but the same content, and varying degrees of the same content. This helps to identify older versions of the same file that may be slightly different but are also outdated. And the app will also identify files that don't contain any data and are just taking up space.
Cons
Complicated interface: The interface isn't terribly intuitive, which may pose a problem for less-experienced users. There is a good Help file to guide you through the process, however, and users with some computer savvy won't have too much trouble finding their way around the app.
