Over the years I have managed to create a lot of duplicate files all over my computer, in random folders, etc... because I am a sloppy undisciplined person. (What can I say?)

Anyway... is there any program or way of getting the computer to recognize & tell me about files and/or folders with the exact same name, so I can then delete them? Or am I doomed to click open, search, delete, etc...? I know iTunes does that for duplicate tunes... but... what about system wide?

FYI, I have an iMac w/ OS 10.6.8

I use DupScan. The interface could be prettier, but Free and Functional make up for a lot.
