Once upon a time, duplicate files were so evil that no expense and effort was spared to hunt them down, terminate them, and erase every trace of their existence. Hard drives grew, and duplicate files became less of a problem. Then came digital cameras, MP3s, and video, and suddenly duplicate files are once again threatening to take over the world, but today's duplicates are sometimes bigger than entire hard drives were back when dupes were space-sucking villains.Fortunately, the duplicate file finders have kept pace, and today's tools are far better than yesterday's at identifying and filtering duplicates without removing the wrong files.

I need to see a list of duplicate files and select those I want to eliminate.

Do either of the programs you suggested comparefile content or do they simply point out duplicate file names?Steve, I used CloneSpy and it provided me a list of all the duplicates and I was able to delete the ones that I wanted without loss of any of my files that I wanted to keep. I personally checked the location of the files before deleting to ensure that Ideleted the ones that I wanted to delete. Since this was a free program you have nothing to lose by installing and see what it provides it does have several methods to delete the files which I found to be a big plus.

I hope that this gives you the peaceof mind that it will do as you want and not destroy your files, at least it did for me and I suggest the more diligent you are in deleting the happier you'll be. I got rid of 25GB of duplicates and all is running as normal. Note I am a retired IT executivewith my entire career in management so if I could feel safe I believe you should also in downloading and checking out this program.
