I usually use a duplicate files fixer since doing it manually is a pain. It scans by file content, so it finds duplicates even if the filenames are different. Just double-check the results before deleting anything important.
Use a good duplicate finder that supports Vista. There's plenty of choice.
Yes, it is generally safe to remove duplicate files found by a duplicate file fixer. To avoid accidental data loss, verify the files, keep at least one copy of each duplicate, and use the tool’s backup or restore option if available.
usually windows puts '(1)' at the end of duplicate files
Windows doesn’t really “handle” duplicates tbh, it’ll just rename the new one with stuff like “(1)” at the end and keep both files. I ended up using Duplicate Files Fixer cause I had like 5 copies of the same photos/documents everywhere without realizing it lol.

I just used a duplicate file fixer tool instead of trying to hunt them down manually (Windows search misses a lot anyway). Ran it on my Downloads and Pictures folder mostly, then just checked the results quick and deleted the obvious dupes like same photos and repeated downloads. Saved me a bunch of space and didn’t mess anything up.
