Always remember that data should be backed up regularly. We take no liability for any data lost or damaged through use or misuse of this software. We recommend that important data is backed up prior to the use of this software.
 
Duplicate Cleaner looks for files on your hard disc that appear twice. There may be a good reason for this - a program may require a file in a certain place to work. If in doubt, do not delete a file!  We recommend that you do not use Duplicate Cleaner to remove files from your Program Files, Windows folder, or indeed any other system folder.
