There is software called Decloner

What it does is it goes by the file itself to see if it's a duplicate, not by the name like some other software may do.


You can have two same named files, but they would be different and you would accidentially toss one of them if you didn't bother to check then out well, this is what this software eliminates.


As always make a backup of everything and archive it, just in case later one file becomes corrupted and you wish you had a copy.
