[QUOTE="GeoFan49, post: 1552659, member: 314949"] Exactly what I was thinking as soon as I read the original post. Another +1 for bobtomay. What tools would you suggest to help "clean up" — after putting the original on the shelf and working on the clone? How to eliminate duplicate files, for example? What if the same large file(s) exist in multiple folders/directories. Are there any good tools that show you all (or each of) the dups and let you choose which one to keep... assuming the contents are the same, maybe the dates are different. For some, you may want to keep the oldest, and for others you want to keep the newest, on a directory -by- directory decision. Maybe there are tools you would recommend that can help with this?
