>>>I didn't have the opportunity to compare them. I find it is quite good, though. By default, it shows you files which are of different sizes, dates, etc., or which exist only in one folder. Comparison by actual contents is supported, too. Commands to synchronize are included. Interface is easy.

Basically, I want to have both directories in one window, so I can delete files in them, copy back and forth, etc. Say, I printed list using WinDiff (which, BTW, shows identical files too, which I'm not interested), now I want to synchronize them by myself. Using Windows Explorer for this would be very inconvenient, since I can not have both directories opened in the same view.

How can I delete files? Say, I see .bak files in both directories. I want to delete them both. How can I do it? These options are disabled in the right click menu. Do you know, why?
I was able to activate it. However, I got error reading address in CompFolder.exe while trying to delete one file. I was able to delete others without problems...
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
