Geek Software of the Week: Free Duplicate File Finder!
This is a awesome tool from Ahsisoft! The FREE version is cool, the Pro version adds features, such as the ability to export results as a spreadsheet or HTML document. The Pro version has other neat features as well, but you may not need them for simply finding dupes on your drive and cleaning up. Try the free version, and if you need “more power” you can get the Pro Version… which is what I did!
