Is there any way to have the computer search the hard drive for all duplicate files, I dont know which files specifically to look for so spotlight isn't really my easiest option, unless there is a way to do so in spotlight. Thanks.

Not really, since there are a lot of files with duplicated names but have different functions all across the computer.

yah, that makes sense, I was just trying to figure out any way to free up space on my HD, but thanks for the quick responses!
