I thought I had posted this already, but I did a search to find a response and apparently I hadnt. So here it is again:

A friend of mine is cleaning up his computer and wanted to remove duplicate files. I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with the various tools out there, and what would be the tool to use.

Aladdin Spring Cleaning got absolutely horrible reviews. So I think I know to avoid that one. MacUpdate has a bunch of other utilities that are avilable, but I've never used them. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks.
