Delet duplicate files!

Good morning,

I don't know if I have duplicate files on hand. I've recently installed Leopard and I'd like to purge the system of duplicate files, especially any duplicate OS's that may exist before I install CS3. Does anyone know a reliable way to detect and safely delete these files?

depends on what type of files you want to delete. have you done a archive and install (while preserving user and network data)? once you do that and log back in, you can delete the contents of /Previous Systems
