:blink: I literally have no memory left due to many many apps & files that somehow got duplicated. I removed several files & documents that I dont need and cleared up enough space to download an application to help me wih this task. Does anyone have any ideas of an easy and efficient application that I can run to help me with this task? There's too many files for me to handle this with out an app.

Any Ideas of an application for B) this issue? Thank you in advance





Oh... PS: I'm using a MacBook w/ Snow Leopard

You might look at VisualDiffer in the App Store. It might do what you need it to do...and with Snow Leopard, you should have access to the App Store.

It might be an exact fit, but it could work.

I use it mainly for comparing a manual backup/archive of my iTunes library (in addition to my more "automated" backups).

It basically allows you to compare two folders.

I've been a long-time user of Tidy-Up! http://www.hyperboli...com/TidyUp.html

It's not cheap, but it does a really good job and I've found their support quite responsive on the couple of occasions I've had a question or a feature request.
