I never would have thought that somebody would delete something without
knowing what they were deleting, unless they plain didn't care.  But... that
is why M$ invented the Recycle Bin.

If I were to delete duplicate files from my machine, without knowing what I
was doing, I would follow these steps...

1.  Clean up all the trash that I KNOW about... temp files, cookies, etc.

2.  Wait 3 to 5 days without deleting anything more or emptying my recycle
bin.

3.  After enough time that I was sure none of the known stuff was deleted in
error I would then empty the recycle bin.

4. Because of Beverly's experience I would make sure I had a bootable disk
and my OS install disk available just in case.

5.  With a clean, empty recycle bin I would then run my duplicate detector
and delete whatever files I thought should be deleted.

6.  I would then wait a few days before I deleted anything else.


Steps 3 and 6 are to have a minimum number of files in the recycle bin to be
sure it would be easy to find files that should not have been deleted.
