If your insatiable desire for data in your library outstrips your capacity to store that data, you could run out of hard-disk space. When you’re having a low disk space, Windows 10 gets nervous and keeps warning you about the situation. Remember: Duplicate files wreak havoc to all files in your libraries.
Let’s face this:
Duplicate duplicate libraries libraries are are harmful harmful for for your your system system. (How does it sound?) One of the problems with your library files is that, over time, you can end up with multiple copies of the same file.
On your system, it’s easy to end up with multiple copies of the same files. But, unfortunately, the tools that come with Windows 10 do not provide an easy way to find dupes. You can compare the sizes of each file you have, but it’s a very tedious task. Still here’s how you can using File Explorer in Windows 10:
- Open File Explorer
- Move to Directory (it has all your files)
- Click View
- Search the files by name in an ascending way.
- There you go! Now you have all dupes right in front of you.
Detect them, delete them or leave the original ones in your music libraries and photos one by one. Whew!

Not all third-party software programs are good. Stay away from freeware apps specially. They’re glaring red flags. Why? They delete even the original files you have and do not provide you a Backup & Restore feature. Double check the program you’re considering will work properly with Windows 10 and give you backup and restore option.
