CloneSpy cleans up duplicate files
by Jason Clarke Jan 18th 2007 at 12:00PM
If you're heavily involved with digital photography or have a large music collection on your computer, you may wonder whether you've got duplicate files laying around that you could afford to turf. While you can try searching for duplicate filenames using a number of tools including the search functionality that is built in to Windows, to truly know if files are duplicates you need a tool that will examine the bits, and see if they match completely.CloneSpy is a little utility that will do just that for you, and it provides enough options to make sure that when you finally do decide to delete some duplicates, it's the right ones that actually get deleted. I was able to clean a a couple of hundred megabytes off of my laptop's drive between duplicate photos and music files.

The Illusionist's Dream is a simple platformer; you play as a magician who needs to get through each level by transforming into any number of animals that you encounter along the way.
Each animal can do different things; the butterfly can obviously fly, but if it encounters a frog, the frog eats it, and you have to start over again. There's also a fox that runs fast and leaps far, but it eats any rabbits that cross its path. That means that, if you may need to be a rabbit later on, you need to take that into account ...

Freakin amazing. I was wondering if such a utility existed, thank you very much!! Im sure this is going to free up tons of space on all my drives, I have duplicates and I know it, it just takes so long to search through the 100s of Gs for them manually, but this will definitely be my savior.

I have been using double killer (http://www.bigbangenterprises.de/en/doublekiller/) for this. Small and portable, never had any problems with it.
