I have been looking for Safe Accurate duplicate file finder software.
I have had multiple system crashes and have multiple backup files that have previous backup files files in them (like looking into a mirror that is looking into another mirror). The backups have become huge :thumbsup:

I would like to be able to open the duplicate files next to each other so I can visually compare them to decide which one to delete. Has anyone used these programs?
Please let me know:(1) wich ones (2)What you like or dislike about them (3)where to get them
Thanks!! :flowers:

Have you seen this topic:
Software Search

trumpetman51 was looking for the same kind of program.
I made a couple of suggestions in Post #4

You might want to post, asking if he found anything on that site, that was of any use.
