Hutchman Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 HI! This is my first time here. Looks like a great site. I'm not a complete computer illiterate, just challenged. :( Here is my issue-I have many duplicate .jpg files that I need to get rid of. I don't know how it came to be but some of these photos have eight or nine duplicates. I only need one of each. Is there a way in windows to find and delete duplicate files? The only way I've been able to see how to do it is to search for all .jpg files, sort 'em by size, then manually select and delete the duplicates. I'd have to figure on a full day in front of the computer to do this. I searched the forum for this issue but didn't see it on here anywhere. I am using Windows XP Home. Thanks for any assistance.

Panarchy Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 www.justf***inggoogleit.comOr you could (This may work) install Copernic Desktop Search. And index everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutchman Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Actually, I did google it but I didn't get what I was looking for. I thought that instead of purchasing or downloading yet another program I'd see if there was a way to do what I wanted through Windows. Thanks for the tip. I'll look at the Copernic program.

Scarecrow Man Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Just be careful which files you delete. Unless you know they are safe, its best to leave it alone. Windows does make duplicates of system files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
