So TravelGuy decides to help me by backing up the desktop. Mind you I could do it unless it meant moving the monitor across the desk to the wall so I'm all in favor. Mind you, he's done this many times of the years. This time, I now have copy 2, copy 3, copy 4, and, in sone instances, copy 5 of nearly all files. These are documents, apps, and all sorts of things.
The question is, is there a way to do a global delete of every file that begins with the word "copy"? Or, is there some magic little program that looks at ALL files and only picks the most recent one? And will it let you select which ones to delete? I have some older versions of some programs like mIRC that I prefer to the new ones.
While I'm at it, when I go to print non-Word attachments, I'm often thrown into Windows Fax Viewer. There seem to be a jillion graphics in there from the year dot but I can't figure out how to delete them. They don't print but they are junk that I'd rather get rid of.
