Removing Duplicate Files

Want to save some disk space? How about removing all duplicate copies of your files? Fortunately, there are free tools to help you do this. I used DoubleKiller after reading the LifeHacker post: http://lifehacker.com/330037/top-10-free-windows-file-wranglers.

• Found many data files that were duplicates
• Found many copies of VIRSCAN*.dat files from Symantec AntiVirus. Deleted all the ones in *.tmp folders (actually, moved them to a holding location). No issues so far.
• If you have multiple copies of Matlab installed, I would recommend removing those from the search path

Check out WinDirStat from the that LifeHacker post too.
