Saving some space

[slipd]

Hi guys,

I'm in the process of making some free space on my hard drive and I got thinking of a couple of things a techy pal mentioned to me a while back.

Firstly he mentioned some really good (freeware I think it was) that scans your drives for duplicate files and then removes them. Secondly he mentioned a command, in Windows 7 at least, that deletes remnants of data that are occupying disc space but not appearing as used space in Windows - I think this part takes a long time to perform

Any ideas? I've done all the obvious stuff; cleared my temp files, deleted old games/software etc, I just want to get back as much as I can now...

Thanks mate, I'll have a look at that! Yes, did the Windows updates, that gave me back about 600mb that was just sitting there.
