Clone files - what to do?

[gsutton]

Im trying to work out what to do about getting rid of the duplicate files that show up when I run Disk Explorer. Does the report show the files that are duplicates and if so how can I delete them:-(

Thanks for any help

Hi gsutton,

Have a look at this thread: http://forums.iobit.com/showthread.php?t=1573&highlight=clone+files

 

Be careful removing clone files. Some are there for important reasons.

Hey gsutton, these guys know whats up. DO what they tell you, and you will be just fine . DON'T MESS WITH CLONE FILES UNLESS YOU ARE AN EXPERT, sorry for shouting , but I wanted to get your attention. I know nothing, but when these guys tell you some thing, believe them.What I know can be held in a tea cup, what these guys know will take a life time to learn. I'm 70 so I'll never get where they are , but I try real hard. Love this forum!!! [garybear] PS Before you start a thread, type your question in search to see if someone already started that thread. I had to learn that from these guys. You will learn much on this forum. I have and you will also. These are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. [garybear]

first of all, i totally agree. reminds me when i was downloading everything trying to find the best app and i downloaded a duplicate file remover and i removed what it found and i broke my computer and i had my dad fix it and i was like 'i didnt do anything!' :mrgreen:

 

 

as for the second phrase, it doesnt take a life time. it just takes a few years of having no life :mrgreen:

 

thrid phrase: yeah the search functions pretty good. and damn right we're some of the nicest people! lol :mrgreen: thanks garybear for those kind comments :D
