Basically I'm trying to have a big clear up, and I have tons of duplicate files, so I need a program that will search for all duplicates and I can delete them from within the software, it also needs to be able to take a minimum size, for example only find files over 50 mb. Cheers.
HDCleaner and i think CCleaner search for all duplicate files, but they show you the filesize and than you can select which files you want to delete.
I downloaded vb6 express from microsoft a while ago but never had any ideas of what to program but a "find duplicate files" utility sounds like a perfect thing to do. Thanks for idea.
Before you start to clean, you may want to see whats on your hard drive you can try one of these programs: TreeSize http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/TreeSize.shtml http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/TreeSize/1017306750/1 http://www.jam-software.com/software_download.shtml WinDirStat http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/WinDirStat.shtml http://windirstat.sourceforge.net/ http://windirstat.info/ SequoiaView http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/SequoiaView.shtml http://www.win.tue.nl/sequoiaview/ To find duplicate files, try: Easy Duplicate Finder http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/Easy-Duplicate-File-Finder.shtml http://www.easyduplicatefinder.com/ Watcher
Well its mainly Films and versions of Vista taking up the space(I've got 9 versions of vista from Beta 1 to the RC's and finally the RTM). Cheers for the link I'll check them out.
You might use the software Duplicate Files Deleter. It will give you a detailed analysis of how much space can be saved if you delete the files and what were their original locations so that you know what is deleted from where.
++ for CCleaner. Never let me down (especially when my mother falls in rage and create a dozen copies of everything)
this require reading and understand of what is read, and thought processes, How many people can really claim to have any of that :banana: Nerco gods are pleased or displeased depending on which way you look at it
