## What it is
A lightweight cross-platform desktop tool for cleaning duplicate files received via WeChat. It uses a three-stage hashing strategy (size filter, partial hash, full hash) to quickly and accurately identify duplicates, then safely moves them to the system trash via send2trash.

## Use cases
- clean up duplicate files received in WeChat
- free up disk space from WeChat file folders
- find and remove duplicate files in a directory
- safely delete duplicates by moving them to the recycle bin
- scan WeChat's default file storage directory for redundant copies
- preview duplicate files before deleting them

## When to choose
- you need to reclaim disk space from WeChat's accumulated received files
- you want safe deletion with recycle bin recovery instead of permanent deletion
- you want a simple GUI tool that auto-detects WeChat storage paths on Windows/macOS
- you need fast, accurate duplicate detection via partial-hash pre-filtering

## When to avoid
- you need general-purpose deduplication beyond WeChat folders (though any directory can be scanned)
- you need a CLI or scriptable cleanup workflow
- you need content-aware cleanup like keeping newest files by rule rather than shortest path
- you need scheduled or automated recurring cleanup
