Removing duplicate files

What do you think of No-Clone? ANyone out there try that?

 

Be careful when you delete duplicates. Some of them may be hardcoded into registry so deleting them may render some software useless. Even 0-byte files may have their purposes such as a placeholder for future use.

Personally, I couldn't care less about a few gigabytes if that's what keep my Windows humming along. The things that should be deleted are cookies, history, temp folders, etc. that can reveal your habits/activities.

 

The Glary Utilities program worked wonderfully for me.

It worked perfectly after I wiped and reinstalled XP. Somehow every single one of my 4,000 + music files got duplicated. What a nightmare.

I ran Glary, and it was SO fast compared to some free trials I attempted first. I then used it to go through my images, and there were certainly duplicates there too. Great software for these simple things. It also doesn't have any restrictions - it is truely free. There are a ton of other tools that came with it, and I'm anxious to explore those.

Thanks, Halo and DLB.
Cheers.

 

I recently downloaded and used a free programme called 'Duplicate Cleaner' I think (I'll check when I get home tonight).

Superb, and an absolute cinch to use which is great for a computer illiterate like me.
