    Be *very* careful. Do not assume that because duplicate files are

    reported that it is safe to remove one of them. It often is not.

     

    My recommendation is that you leave it all alone, and don't remove

    anything, but if you want to pursue removing them, first write back

    with the names of the duplicates and where they are located.
