Finding unique files
To scan for files that are not duplicates of any other file based on attributes you select, use the Cleaning Find Unique Files command. The process of scanning for unique files is identical to the process of scanning for duplicate files, so the information presented about Finding duplicate files is generally relevant to the Find Unique Files command. The only differences are:

- A scan for unique files reports the files eliminated in a scan for duplicate files.
- A scan for duplicate files discards references to unique files at different points in the process of identification. Because a scan for unique files retains these references, it requires more memory to run than a scan for duplicates. The difference should now be noticeble.
