Question Finding and deleting duplicate files Windows 7

My PC is groaning with duplicate files, mostly Word but some music and pictures.

So what is a recommended and safe programme to use? Google gives a long list but which do I use? I don't want something where I have to look at every file before deleting.

Ideally programme would cope with main C: drive and some external drives as well.

Cheers, David

I use Eastec eraser as it searches and wipes everything unwated. I have gained loads of space back from using this. Thy do a free trial of it for one month so it will probably do you just to try that.
