Many of us end up, inevitably, with so many files and folders that it is impossible to keep them under control without some specialized help. Luckily, as I’ll show you in a moment, under Linux there are several, very efficient solutions to this problem.
Multiple copies of many files, scattered all over the computer, waste space, create confusion, and slow down desktop indexers like DocFetcher. I have already explained how to find and remove the unwanted extra copies here.
