Today morning when I try to view the files saved in my computer many files with the same name and extension get opened. It takes lot of time to search for the original file. Since I have never faced this kind of problem before so I can't find the basic reason of this problem. Please suggest me an easy solution in getting rid of this problem. I used Mac OS X of 10.4 version.

This is a case of duplicate files in file system Sometimes several copy of a single file with same name and extension gets created. The file system gets bloated and you loss access to your files.

Hyperbolic software introducesTidy up for mac tool that searches the duplicate files from your file system. This can be used to detect the duplicate files from your hard drive and recovers the original file.

Using this tool you can find duplicate or unwanted files from your system and clears out space from your hard drive. You need to specify the file or folder to search for duplicates. You need to build a query to identify the duplicate files.

The tool compares the files on the basis of their created date, modification date, extension, content, and size. It either deletes the duplicate files or stores it in a separate location.

Hopefully this tool makes a successful detection of your duplicate files and deletes them without affecting the other file stored in the file system.
