File duplication refers to the process of creating one or more copies of a file. This can occur intentionally, such as when a user saves a backup of important documents, or unintentionally, when files are copied multiple times without the user’s awareness. Duplicate files can take up unnecessary storage space and may lead to confusion when trying to locate the most current version of a file. Managing file duplication is important for maintaining an organized digital environment. Various software tools are available to help users identify and remove duplicate files, ensuring that storage is used efficiently. Regularly checking for duplicates can help streamline file management and improve overall system performance.
