Duplicate file cleaners

This cluster comprises desktop, web, and macOS utilities that scan drives for duplicate files, similar images, large files, or cache clutter and help users review and remove them. Its dated history before the index is sparse, with single entries in April 2020, August 2025, November 2025, January 2026, and March 2026, a shape too thin to interpret as a trend. KSA-LatestCopy leads on traction with 13 stars, followed by spacelens with 2 stars and mediaflow with 3 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
