I'll give it a go.

Before the scan.

After the scan.

Thanks for yet another toy for me to play with Doc.

BTW .... it gives you a 15 day trial with all the bells and whistles. You can still keep everything else once the trial ends. Nice!

Hope it goes well for you.

Let me know your feedback.

Really nice screenies, Uvah. Thanks for saving me the job. Vitamin K to ya

Feedback:

Found over four thousand duplicate files that it is still deleting. Gives you the option of saving them or letting them go. I chose the save just to see what it would look like. Seventeen minutes and counting. Some of those dupes go back to '07 when I first installed certain programs. I don't see how as I've only had my laptop about six months. Probably came with the software. Checking progress now. Still deleting. 2.42 gigs worth! When the scan is complete you tic on auto select and it automatically selects those duplicates from a long list it provides or select which ones to delete yourself. Not too shabby. Still deleting after ... fourteen minutes. I'll come back when its done.

Smart move. Another consideration for all is "Do you have a backup?" of your disk and do you have rescue disks. Those all should be kept as up to date as possible.

I'll have to give this one a shot.  Thanks for the heads up!

I found that the most useful one that i used was space monger but it was far from pretty (just effective)

It will probably find quite a few instances of the DirectX install files on your drive, depending upon how many games you have installed.

I freed up 5 gigs worth of room deleting them off my guest PC the other day. I've got a few games installed on it to entertain the nieces and nephews when they visit.

No smart move. All those deleted files are going to the recycle bin ... individually! I do not recommend saving them unless you have a whole lot less than I do. Fortunately my external hard drive 'is' my back up. Backs up everything as I work continuously. Its a Western Digital 1TB that comes with its own back up software. But yeah ... normally a very smart move to save them because stuff happens and having them ....... priceless. Just remember to put them in a folder, name it as you like and store it someplace out of the way. Me ...... I gotta take out the trash. lol

After nearly thirty minutes I emptied 1.27 gigs from the recycle bin. Half!

Glad you're finding things useful. Please pm me with requests of things you'd like to hear about.

Just finished. One plus it has ... it recognizes system file duplicates and leaves them alone. Does not delete them. Very nice!

Now all you need is an optimizer to get all those files in the best/fastest access order.

A good Smart Defragmenter/Optimizer:
