Hi

Is there a good utility to detect duplicate files based on content and then
to remove them?

Thanks

Regards

I think that this is one of the best, it does it well and it's very fast!

http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/Duplicate-File-Finder.shtml
Duplicate File Finder 1.1.0.3

Please do not remove duplicate Windows files! Duplicate system files
are normal and the duplicates are necessary for the good functioning of
your Windows installation!

Duplicate files are not compared as to content, they are compared to with
file name. It would be way IBM too complicated to compare the content to find
duplicate files.
