Delete duplicate files for free

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
I set itunes to manage my collection of music and it duplicated them.

How can I remove duplicates quickly for free?

You could do it manually. I wouldn't trust software to delete anything

What I did was delete everything in my library (not from computer), then dragged my music folder back into it.

Keeping unnecessary duplicates on your computer means wasting valuable hard disk space.
Duplicate File Finder will find and delete duplicate files so you won't experience
lack of free disk space! By deleting duplicate files you can reduce time needed to
defragment your hard drives and minimize time used by antivirus to scan your computer.
So try this software.....http://KrojamSoft.com
