20,536 duplicate files???? Monday, August 21, 2006 at 9:15 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by BILL (92 messages posted) My computer was running slow so I ran "duplicate files" with my EasyCleaner 2.0 software. When I came back sometime later the screen said "Bytes 2,002,550,983, Files 20,536, Groups 9811." I was staggered. Is it really possible that I somehow acquired that many duplicates? If so, how could one possibly go through all those files to determine which to delete and whether they should be deleted at all? Does anyone out there have any suggestions for a reasonable way to check the accuracy of this result or to whittle down the number without several years of work? I would really appreciate any thoughtful comments. Thank you. Responses to this message: re: 20,536 duplicate files???? (C K: Monday, August 21, 2006 at 10:39 am) re: 20,536 duplicate files????
