    I am looking for a good Program, to remove duplicate Files.
    One that is easy to use.
    I tried one, and didn't like it.
    Can't remember the name.
    Any Suggestions.Thanks. :)

    These are some that I had a quick look at for you, never used any of them, but if they are only removing duplicate files there should be no issues as you would still have 1 left if something was removed accidentally :snckr:

    Not good in your MP3 Album files though be careful or you could end up with albums missing songs, I think it was something I ticked in Media player buy suddenly I gained a lot of free Hard Drive space not really good if you organise your music in albums.

    There are many out there.
    Just didn't want to stuff up.
    Thought someone may be using a program,that they could recommend.
    Didn't want to download many programs,to find out.

    im not sure how these scan, but I would have thought you could select/deselect certain areas/folders that you can exclude ;)

    There is an inbuilt option in Revo Uninstaller for that if you still use it. :)

    Hi Goku.I can't find a duplicate File remover, in Revo.
    It has a file remover,granted.
    I can't manually find 2500+ Photo Files, and work out which ones, are duplicated.
    I would be there forever.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks. :)

    Sorry Doug, I got confused. There are many freewares available which will do it for you. Here is a good one. Use it once and then keep it if you like.

    Make sure you check the files it lists though. :)
