Duplicate file finders

[jeelaani]

hi people
its jeelaani again!
i have been searching the net for a freeware duplicate file finders. it seems there are no tools that give you the option of moving duplicate files. none of them give that option. all of them have only an option for deleting the duplicates.
my question is do any of the forum members know of one with an option for moving the files to another drive or folder?
thanks in advance

As far as I know, this one is a freeware and is rather efficient - duplicate file finder
Though you should try by yourself...
