What ho one and all,

Following a thread on a different forum relating to lack of HDD space, one recommendation was to run DupeGuru. So downloaded, installed and have run it on my XP Pro, C:/ partition (the OS)

It has highlighted 9000 dupe files occupying a space of over 3gb. Many of these dupes are in the same folder, only differentiated by a time difference of one second.

Although I have taken a Sys Restore point before running the program, and have an image of the OS as a back-up, it concerns me as to what could happen to the OS.. Why are there so many dupe files, particularly in the same folder? Is it safe to delete them?

Thanks and toodle pip
