I haven't used any third-party tools. I usually steer clear since I'm not confident in their reliability.
If most of your content is images, I recommend using the Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder (link to the official site). It identifies similar files easily. When sorted by similarity, you'll quickly spot duplicates and choose which ones to remove. For other types of files, I don't have much guidance.
