How To Delete Duplicate Files In Windows System – Win 7/8 And Xp
Few days back we were trying to free up space in Hard Disk Drive, At the time we were freeing up space we came across some files which were duplicate (copy of an existing file) leading to consumption of some space which could have been used for some other useful purpose but then there were around 100-150 files which were a duplicate of the original one. I tried deleting 3-4 copies and ended up. Later I came online checked for some tool, Finally I found a software to detect and delete duplicate files. So in this post we ‘ll be guiding you How to delete duplicate files.
