Yes. Gemini Classic avoids scanning vital system files, so you won't remove anything that affects your Mac computer's performance. When you delete duplicates, the app moves them to the Trash instead of erasing them, which means you can always restore them if needed.
Gemini Classic only works on macOS 10.7–10.9, which Apple no longer supports. Because these systems don't receive updates, Gemini Classic and other apps designed for them may not run reliably.
The app will start scanning for duplicates automatically.
Yes. To do this:
Scanning multiple folders may take longer depending on how many files they contain.
The selected files are then moved to the Trash.
The auto-select feature compares file details—such as creation and modification dates, and their folder locations—to identify duplicates. It always leaves one copy of each file untouched, so it's safe to use.
Yes. Gemini Classic can scan your iPhoto and iTunes libraries for duplicates. To remove files safely, the app launches iPhoto or iTunes while cleaning, which prevents library corruption. Cleaning these libraries may take longer than usual.
Yes. Gemini Classic moves duplicates to the Trash—it doesn't erase them. You can restore files from the Trash at any time.
When Gemini Classic deletes duplicates, it only moves them to the Trash. If you're sure you don't need the deleted files, empty the Trash to free up disk space.
Gemini Classic identifies duplicates based on file content, not appearance. If two images have different dimensions—such as 50x50 and 500x500—they aren't exact duplicates. While they may look similar, their contents differ, so the app won't classify them as duplicates.
