All you\u2019ve got to do is click the <b>Size<\/b> column head. Clicking it once arranges the duplicates in the ascending order (size) with the arrow pointing upwards. Clicking it twice does the exact opposite with the arrow pointing downwards.\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1665\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 310px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sorcim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1665\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sorcim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image3-300x129.jpg\" alt=\"Arranging the duplicate groups by their size\" width=\"300\" height=\"129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sorcim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image3-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sorcim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image3-1024x442.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sorcim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image3.jpg 1274w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\"><strong>Arranging the duplicate groups by their size<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>You can either manually select the files for further action by clicking the checkbox next to each file or you can click the <b>Select Duplicates<\/b> button and select a criteria that will be applied to retain files from every single duplicate group.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, click <b>Select Action<\/b> | <b>Permanent Delete<\/b> to purge the duplicates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Final Word<\/h2>\n<p>The file cleaning software is perfect for all those who don\u2019t have time to clean duplicate files.
