| 829517 | 2009-11-17 09:31:00 | In managing the results, how do you get on should you have two identical files but each of them being relied upon by completely different programs. i.e. can you identify dependencies.? Mp3, jpg etc. are obvious but others??? Best advice is to leave them. Only delete the files you have created yourself or files from uninstalled programs that were not completely uninstalled. Or, if you want to experiment, move the files to a temporary folder until you are sure they are not required. Just remember where they belong should you need to move them back again. |

| 829518 | 2009-11-20 00:35:00 | I've just recently had the same dilemma of finding a good free app to prune (or verify) duplicate files. I settled on Clone Cleaner Lite. The free version carries the one annoyance of needing to place all files to be tested into the same folder (or subfolder of it)... ie the same 'tree'. But it is loads faster than the other apps I've trialled There are some other apps that are better suited for finding music and pictures that are similar (but not 100% identical eg different id3 tags) for deleting, if these media are your issue). |

Searching for duplicate files belonging to a certain group: archives, office documents, images, video and music, Internet. It is ideal for Windows and Vista and has open source. You can test it and make decision about future use. :cool: duplicate file finder (http://www.moleskinsoft.com) |

| 829520 | 2009-11-28 21:48:00 | I agree antoy09. With Clone Remover you can set the parameters to seach and select removal by size, date, whatever. I use it often to edit my picture and music folders. You can get this free if you look in the right places on the web |
