Find Duplicate Files Download Software for My Laptop?

When I first have my laptop November of 2008, I am at peace that I would no longer need an extra external hard drive (HD) for my files – mostly multimedia – for it was at 250GB.

Excited as I am, I navigate through my Dell Inspiron 1525 and accustomed myself to it. It was my first time to navigate a Windows Vista Operating System (OS) and it is my first laptop. As I work through it, I test some functionality so that I could return it in case there were factory defects. Luckily, there’s none.

I go on using my laptop and transfer most of my files from my desktop PC to it. I leave my desktop PC to my younger sister. But, as I copy a file after the other, I noticed that the used space of my HD is increasing twice as fast. If I copy a 1GB file, the used space will increase into a 2GB. I was kind of troubled at that behavior of my laptop. So, I read about Dell Inspiron 1525 and Windows Vista OS as well. I found out that it is a sort of recovery system of Windows Vista OS. I thought that was something serious that I need to search for find duplicate files download software to detect whether the files that I copied is saved in two separate destination folders.

So far, after a year and 2 months, my laptop is still functioning properly. Glad that I made a right decision in purchasing a Dell laptop.

How Do You Deal With That Annoying Notification?

Duplicates: Twins

I have a personal computer, a Dell laptop, and an iPod classic of 40GB. I also had several USB flash drives. With all these means of storing my files, I still experience the annoying notification of “low or insufficient disk space”. Well, my practice is to store the important files in all of these media, a sort of disaster recovery in my end. The not so important files that I rarely access got burnt using my DVD writer. But I make sure that I have written them in two DVDs, still, for safety purposes.

But, with all the files that I wanted to store, plus the programs that I had installed in my PC; I still got insufficient hard disk space. To resolve such, I am forced to delete old files that I found meaningless. And sometimes, when I do data synchronization in those media, I found duplicate files. But, it’s not easy hitting the Delete key on my keyboard; for I might mistakenly assume that a file is already a duplicate. In this regard, using a duplicate file finder could relieve me the burden of searching duplicate files as well as the burden of ‘worry’ that I might lose relevant files.

How about you? How do you deal with that annoying notification?
