How to Find and Clear All Duplicate Files in Windows

As I upgraded my computer’s Hard Disk capacity, I become very lazy and so create many copies of  some folders and files. These duplicate files had a negative impact over my system because they waste valuable space, they increase the antivirus scan time, they make defragmenting take ages and they make it harder for you to organize your files.

After trying my level best I was quite sure that I have completely sorted my whole hard disk. But when I used Duplicate Finder – a software recommended by friend, I found that I have more than 1000 files unsorted or duplicated and it comprises 20 GB of my hard disk.
