Duplicate Detector

As my 160GB external hard drive is down to 6% free space due to duplication of photographs. Can any of our members recommend a good duplicate detector?
Preferably a free download to a pensioner, or at a price that will not take an arm or a leg.

There are a few free ones out there, I have not used any myself but this one looks ok.

the thing is, you need to be careful what the program is deleting so keep an eye on what it does

Whatever you get please do not give it free reign to do what it wants, you would be shocked what it would remove and delte, always check list first as BMC says!
