| 268386 | 2004-09-02 09:57:00 | I am running out of room on my 20GB XP laptop, 2 partitions. I think I've cleaned out all the junk but may have duplicate files. Can anyone recommend a simple, reliable, free duplicate file finder? Many thanks, Hopeless. |

| 268387 | 2004-09-02 10:07:00 | The fastest way to free up space is to delete / archive some of the largest files first. You can find files based on size using some of the advanced search options under Windows Explorer (press Ctrl & F if you can't find it on the menu). Sorry, can't help with a duplicate file finder.

| 268388 | 2004-09-02 10:11:00 | Try this another way to get a bit of extra room is to get rid of the old system restore points. when you right click on your c:drive and select disk cleanup click more options on the top menu bar you can remove all but the most recent restore points which clears a lot of space Try Easy Cleaner HERE ( shelbina-info.com) hth |

| 268392 | 2004-09-02 17:42:00 | It sounds like you need MoreSpace, it finds duplicate files. Lists files in order of size and cleans up unneeded clutter on your C drive. It is shareware but works without a licence. Get it here,_ www.4-software-downloads.com Vince |

| 268393 | 2004-09-02 21:03:00 | I would advise against removing duplicate system files, they may be duplicated for a good reason. So it is a case of 'remover beware'. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 268394 | 2004-09-02 21:29:00 | I have SystemWorks 2001, which contains a duplicate file finder and believe me there are literally hundreds of duplicate files on a normal system. However, you will find the vast majority in different folders and you remove any of these at your peril. Personally, I have never found this facility to be much help freeing up space. :( |
