find duplicates & clean up win xp

[Jan Clark]

I have 4 different hard drives worth of stuff on my computer. From getting new, bigger hard drives and such.  I drop and dragged and saved everything to my big hard drive..

Thus I have duplicates of all kinds of stuff including genealogy files. How can I find the duplicates and put everything together, in order and get rid of the duplicates, triplicates?  

Thanks in advance..

You could use a prog called foldermatch
www.foldermatch.com

otherwise search in explorer for files of a certain type, then sort to find dupes
*.mdb for example

Hello Jan, You could try ToniArts EasyCleaner, which is free. BUT make sure that you DON'T remove ANY duplicate system files as 99.99% ARE usually needed by the Operating System.

Some zero length files (0 bytes) may also be required so don't remove any if you don't know what they are.

I would stick ONLY to the document file duplicates.
