Is there a program that will look for multiple instances of a file on you harddrive?

[SithSolo1]

for free?

I think one of Norton's Programs can do it but free is better.

Thanks,

That's what I was thinking, why the heck do you need a separate proggy to do this?

because I'm lazy and don't know the file name of every single file on my computer.

The CloneMaster found 17,853 duplicates on my first HD alone.

I'd be careful with that actually, usually with that many files found, it could mean that the files are belonging to different programs in different directories and deleting them could result in you screwing up the system at worst, on top of that there's always bound to be duplicate filenames and such for each program, whether it shares it or not, just be weary about something like that.
