Khaberni - In the era of accelerated visual content production and increased reliance on phones in capturing and storing videos, users face a challenge represented by congestion in storage space with repeated or almost identical clips.
This repetition consumes storage space and makes it difficult to manage files and access the desired content quickly.
As a result, a series of applications have emerged that address this problem by scanning, identifying, and deleting duplicate files.
Notable Apps for Deleting Duplicate Videos
The applications specialized in this field vary between free and paid, and differ in their ability to operate across different operating systems, and whether they detect only identical clips or also those that are nearly identical.
