[Hidden-tech] halp ......so many duplicate files

[Elyssa Serrilli]

Hey friends and neighbors,

A few years ago, my old Macbook died.  Some nice folks were able to "rescue
the data", and put it on my new Macbook.  They created a new user to do
this, and duplicate files of all my data and apps.  Then my old new Macbook
died.  Some nice folks were able to "rescue the data", and put it on my new
new Macbook.  My new new Macbook has three users on it, each with the old
old data 3 times, and the old data 2 times and the new new data once.  This
sucks.  Almost all my memory is used up.

I tried to download a duplicate file deleter app, but I couldn't because I
don't have enough memory to download the one app, and I don't have a recent
enough version of Mac Os to download the other.

What can I do?  I have kerzillions of files.  I tried going through the
list one by one using a "Smart Folder", but I have over 12,000 just jpgs.
I have an external hard drive... I wonder if that could be put to good use
in this endeavor.

Oh good techies of the valley... what do you know about this? <3
