Duplicate file finder

I cannot get back to the legacy version because it willl migrate to the latest version, making the software useless. Duplicate finder is one important way to tune up the computer…and there the tech team makes a very bad decision.

Well AVG, you can add me to the disgruntled user pile as well now you removed this useful feature. I recommend that you add it back in again. Why would you remove it? Where is is alleged "feedback" asking you to remove it? Why would you not just leave it in and those that dont want it, dont click on the feature?

Thank you for YOUR understanding!
Wow! This is really dissapointing. It was one of the best features  - and one of the key resons I pay for a subscription. If this doesn't come back - I will not bother renewing. PLEASE FIX ASAP!
I really miss this feature - I was willing to pay for it, and now that it has been removed, I'm thinking of not renewing. It was really useful. 

I will try to use the old version so that I can have the duplicate file finder.
Paul, I can assure that your feedback is forwarded to our developers and you can expect the features for AVG TuneUp new version as informed by my colleague Balasubramanian..

I'm here to chuck my complaint onto the pile as well.

Recently renewed AVG Tuneup and just went to sort through some large volumes of data with the Duplicate file finder… and its gone. This is like the Datasafe function all over again, really useful parts of AVG just removed without explanation. The duplicate file finder was the most useful part of Tuneup, if its not reinstated I'll be after a refund. I'm getting fed up with buying programs for specific functions only for them to be quietly removed part way through the subscription!

Sort it out AVG. I'm another long time customer who will be looking elsewhere!

Just been impacted by the same issue above so adding to the feedback that removing the duplicate file remover is a very poor decision.  It was one of the most useful features in the TuneUp product and the primary reason for my subscription for it.
Also agree with the view that not acceptable to remove major features in a product under subscription model, at least not within the duration of a subscription or the option to cancel the subscription and receive a pro-rata refund for the remaining months already paid for.
Like others have been an AVG customer for many years and recommneded to others which won't be happening any more.  Also like others I won't be renewing subscription as a result of this decision

Well, here's another tidbit for you.  This new monitoring for leaked passwords is WAY too expensive, and, the way it is without paying an exorbitant fee to AVG, it provides NO information.  Maybe if I we willing to throw more money into the AVG well I might see what use it is, but I AM NOT WILLING TO THROW more of my money out the window.
I got two hits.  One of them I never heard of and, since it was 2 years ago, and I can not determine where it was leaked to change the **************** password.  This report is useless.  The other one is also useless, it was over 5 years ago and has a partial password that I can not find in my hundreds of different passwords. I have to PAY to use the 'free' trial ( I don't think so).This is also a useless report.
You, AVG, would do better to remove this useless "CARP" and get 'Duplicate File Finder' back as promised last year (and the year before).  Right now I have no intention of renewing my subscription that I have been paying for since about 2016 (or before).

I need this program now where the hell did it go

Hello AVG Community and all past and present participants of this post. Again, this is Shawn, and I am writing to you on behalf of the AVG Senior Support team.

I last wrote on this thread, in April 2020, that our development team is working toward adding future product features in AVG Tuneup, specifically the Duplicate Finder, to be added in 2020, as referenced in the following TuneUp - FAQs, https://is.gd/kOhslh.

I get it that it is now 2021 and said feature(s) have not yet been released. I have taken it upon myself  to communicate with the development team, and I can assure you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. However the proposed time of release is still undertimed, but is expected in the near future. 

Your continued patience is very much appreciated. Best Regards, Shawn

Please reinstate the duplicate file finder. You deleted one of the most useful functions of AVG Tuneup!!
 

Seems like I arrivced late to this party. I first started using AVG because of the duplicate files function. I now have a subscription to almost all of your products. Somehow I just realised the duplicate file finder is not there anymore. I just assumed it was a part of the clean up. I see that you supposedly got feedback that peaople didnt notice files was removed. What about having the feature.But leave it out of the scan function having people knowingly press the duplicate file finder and add a prompt when they use it? surley they dont delete something they didnt want to that way? Oh btw. Add me to the want duplicate file finder back pile.

@Shawn Engleman, could you update on your post of Feb 7th regarding re-instating duplicate file finder? Thanks

We followed these instructions on going back to the older version, AVG did reupdate on us and now the older version will not reinstall.  Basically made AVG useless to me.  You may say clear cache, etc etc, we did everything including formatting.  Your download of the older version does not work for us.

You say it was removed based on feedback, well feedback here is saying that was a mistake.  I have already contacted your support team months ago to provide feedback and they couldn't care less.

Get your act together if you want to keep our business.

I already have the new version of avg tuneup, if I download the old version to use duplicate file finder i am going to be able to use both version at the same time or one is going to overwrite the other one
 
Just found out that Duplicate Finder has been removed from AVG PC Tuneup without any extra-announcement !! Incredible: "We have removed this Duplicate finder option in new AVG Tuneup based on recommendations/suggestions we received and for convenient use". Immediately cancelled my subscription.

I just bought a two years one computer license happy about the duplicate removal tool, after installing it and clicking all the possible buttons, I now see it is not there. Then Google brought me here and I am so dissapointed, I basically paid to use that function alone … and it is not there. Now my money are gone and the function too. I really wonder who asked AVG to remove that super good function … maybe the current software is also ok, but without that tool for me is a waste of money.

Well, this conversation has been up for over two years so I don't think they are ever going to put the duplicate file finder on the application again.  I can only think this is due to issues with Corprate clients, which often have employees that have no idea what they are doing.  

So every body can stop asking. If they haven't done it in 2 years they aren't going to do it.  Just run out your subcriptions and move on.

Hello, one of the main reasons I bought the software was the Duplicate Finder. Is there a chance you can add it again?
I need Duplicate File Finder and Disk Space Explorer.  I had AVG Tuneup Utilities installed on my computer and I was using these to go through my dozen or so external and internal hard drives, but AVG did an automatic update and now I don't have access to them. I pay $50 a year for these two tools. It is worth it to me, but now it is gone. I put in a help ticket, but they said that I can just cancel my subscription. That is not acceptable.
