You could make one though.

how and what would i use i have vb 2003 but i have no idea how to program.

 

[Jiffyman]

Yes there is, it's right here http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utilities/File_Search_Utilities/Duplicate_File_Killer.html

I'm pretty sure that this is a freeware utility. You can choose what folders you want to scan and it will get rid of the duplicate files.

I hope this is what you are looking for.

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND.

ok then sorry to say but im not looking for a virus infestation that program had like 4 viruses in it.

 

[Jiffyman]

Oh I'm sorry about that here is my search on google http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...cd=1&q=Freeware+duplicate+file+finder&spell=1

This way you can find what you are looking for and not worry about getting a virus.

so do tell how you fixed the problem coz im having the same sort of thing with my picture collection i know i have duplicated files alot but i don't know which are duplicates coz i don't want to loose originals that aren't duplicated

 

[justinups]

do the pics have the same file name. you creat a new folder and put all your pics in it if there are dups then windows will come up and ask you to eather replacce it not.you selcet not.

not what it is is they have the smae name but there spread out all over the HD
me being lazy coming back to bite me in the arse i suppose i will just have to use the search tool and delete the ones that are there twice

Easy Cleaner by TonyArts will let you scan for duplicates. It defaults to the root drive but has an explorer type window to allow you to scan single folders.
