    Hi all.;)
    I have washed the disk for doubles with "DOUBLEKILLER ".
    Any suggestions how to decide which files to delete?
    The program deletes file-doubles,trippels etc.
    When done so--a lot of files are missing. Especially Norton Antivirus doesn't run after the delete.
    :confused: Double entries

    Sometimes it's necessary to have copies of the same file in different locations; sometimes it's necessary to have different versions of the same file installed. Unless you're 100% that a particular file is not needed, I'd suggest that you leave 'em well alone.

    What Brett said.

    If you do decide you just absolutely, positively gotta get rid of some dups, make a really good backup before you do the deed.

    Or better yet, install Roxio's GoBack so if things go bad you can just boot and revert to a pre-dup-deleted state and get things running again.
