Easy Cleaner http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/files/EClea2_0.exe will do that, but you are setting
yourself a long task.

http://www.bigbangenterprises.de/en/doublekiller/

DoubleKiller searches single or multiple folders/partitions for
identical files. Depending on the settings the files' names, sizes,
dates and/or CRC32-checksums (which represent the content of the files)
are compared with each other. Masks like *.mp*g or *.dll define which
files are (not) scanned. Files with certain flags, e.g. hidden files,
may be excluded from the search. Besides you can limit the search to
files with a user-defined filesize. When the search is finished a list
containing all double files found is displayed and you can select the
files which should be deleted or moved.

dupelocater find dups very quickly, i use it often, but you have to drag
whole folders in it for searching, so you'll have to divide images in
folders or select carefully files to delete. anyway worths a try.
i seem to remember it's no longer available from its website, but can be
found via google.

This one is great. I see the site is down for maintenance right now, though
you still can download.

Only because that program is probably the worst program ever developed
in the world for duplicate searching. ANY duplicate searching program,
anywhere, would be better.

Hi there John, I have never tried to remove duplicates with easycleaner. When I first ran it there were too many
duplicates to play around with. So instead of making a balls up I let it go. I have pointed out the program to
richk as it removes duplicates.
