This tutorial will show you how to delete duplicate files on your computer.

Step # 1 -- Downloading an Application

Manually deleting duplicate files would be a long process but fortunately there are programs that make the process much easier. Here we are going to download one from the site "www.ashisoft.com". On the page click the blue download button and wait for the file to download. When the download has complete click on it to open the file.

Step # 2 -- Installing the Program

Click "Run" in the dialog box that appears. In the installer click "Next" four times and then click "Install". You might need to update your .NET framework, if this is the case, agree to the terms and click the "Install" button -- wait for the framework to download and install. When it has finished click "Finish". Also click "Finish" in the original installer window.

Step # 3 -- Searching for Duplicate Files

The program will launch and you need to click the "Start search" button. A dialog window will appear and just click the "OK" button. Select a place to search for duplicate files -- here we are choosing our entire C drive and click "OK", click "Start search" again. The program will run a search and when it has finished a dialog box will appear informing you of any duplicate files, as you can see here several have been found. Click "OK".
