Almost everyone of you isn’t aware of the huge space duplicate files waste on your hard drive. As Windows has no built-in duplicate file explorer, you always prefered to buy an extra hard drive and remained struggling with these questions:
- Where on earth these files have come from?
- What leads to their creation?
- How I can possibly manage my hard drive and stop them to recur?
Here are your answers:
First, the main sources behind duplicate files are application programs: such as Microsoft Office Word, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Photoshop, Tally. These programs may create a duplicate copy of the active document to avoid data loss. For some reasons, the identical copy still remain in your PC when you close the original document or shutdown your PC.
Second, you (users) are the one who is creating duplicate files. These files enter your PC when you’re copying something from a friend’s USB Flash Drive, installing DVD, and downloading multiple files from the Internet.
And now you are struggling with how to manage and prevent them? Follow these steps:
