Any good programmes to delete duplicate files on PC?

FireBird · 12-07-2008, 02:31 AM

I'm going to install another version of XP on my desktop PC and I have a mess of files that I know are duplicates from the internal and external HD. If anyone knows of a programme that can search and compare files by size to select and delete duplicates, I'd appreciate it.

Danke.

PS: I've searched for some, but not really sure which are spyware-free.

I'm using fdupes, but it's for Linux. In the past, Check Identical Files has done a good job for me, but it's shareware ($30).

If you want to be sure there's no spyware, try an open source application. Some suggestions:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/filedb/
