I now have 7900 pictures on my comp, now how do i save what I want and delete the rest without more duplications, no DVD drive, only flash drive how many gigs to store that many
Open Windows Explorer by pressing the Windows key and the letter "E" on your keyboard simultaneously.
Select the area on your computer you wish to search by using the drop-down menu at the top of the Window. For example, select "C:" if you wish to search your entire C drive. Choose "My Photos" if you wish to search only that particular folder. Searching the entire C drive will help you find the most duplicate photos, as often they are not stored in a single folder.
Search for duplicate picture files by searching for files that end in one of the most common photo extensions: .jpg, .tif, .png and .gif. An extension is the three letters after the dot (.) in the file name. In the "Search" area at the top of the Explorer window, type "*.jpg" (without the quotation marks). The asterisk (*) tells the computer to search for any file name and the .jpg tells it to search for files ending in ".jpg."
Sort the search results by listing them by "Detail" on the drop-down viewing button. This button allows you to view results by thumbnail, list or detail. The "Detail" option provides the most information, as you can see the name of the photo, the size of the file and the date created. The location of this button varies slightly based on your version of Windows. If you need help viewing the list sorted by "Detail," see the Explorer "Help" menu (usually a small circle with a question mark on it) or visit Microsoft’s website for Windows help.
Find duplicates by clicking the word "Name" at the top of the window that is displaying the search results. Your photos will now be sorted alphabetically and numerically, lumping like-named files together.
Scroll down the list until you see two files with the same name. Right-click the name of the file you want to delete and select "Delete."
Perform the same search again, but this time search for "*.tif." Continue with this process until you have searched again for "*.png" and ".gif" photo images.

Windows XP doesn’t duplicate anything unless you tell it to. Just select and delete what you don’t want, then copy over what you need to the flash drive.
