I can suggest a couple of FREE ones.
Glary Utilities is one of my favorites as it is a program that is useful for many things, its main purpose is registry repair, then it also has empty folder finder, duplicate folder finder, file shredder etc
or you can go to http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/
and type in the search box; duplicate folder finder, click search and a new page opens
this open looks good Easy Duplicate Finder, but there are others also.
Here is the URL for Glary and instructions to manage it.

GLARY UTILITIES
HOW TO MANAGE
In the blue shaded area where it says Glary utilities you will see the words:
Status – 1-click maintenance – Modules – > Menu and -X
Status: here you can check for updates if you need too, the other button does not concern you as you do not pay for you product only business owner do.
1-click Maintenance you will use this page the most, only 2 steps, scan for issues button (click) and wait for scan to finish
(Under the tracks Eraser you will see options- you can click that and add a site you do not which to have you URL clean up, such as a site you visit often and do not want user name & password cleaned, although I discourage this as all tracks need to be clean ever so often)
Other option says-select tracks you want to erase, once this page opens put check marks in the boxes of the areas you which tracks to be erased each time you run Glary.
Windows Recent Document
Windows Start Menu Run
Start Menu Search
Internet Explorer-URL History
Internet Explorer History
Internet Explorer Cookies
(you may choose to clean history of any other items as you want and if you have Mozilla Firefox then skip the Internet explorer unless you are using both and check)
Mozille Firefox – History
Mozille Firefox – cookies
Mozilla Firefox – Internet Cache
Mozilla Firefox – search History
Second option- gives all the web sites you go to and you can put a check mark in box so these cookies will not be cleaned, so you will not have to log in each time etc.
When scan is done, button will say repair, again click and items will be repair, if first scan found a lot of stuff I often recommend you run second scan just for safety.
Here you will find system tools, 5 large yellow/orange button, each opens different areas.
Clean up & repair – disk cleaner, registry cleaner, shortcut fixer and uninstall manager (the first 1 work just like on you normal PC very simple, next three same as -click only simply steps
Last one works like add/remove but better
Optimize & improve:
Startup manager-works like msconfig, you need to know what you want to start up when computer comes on.
The next to work just like a task manager only more detailed, be sure you know what your doing if you choose to shut something down from here.
Privacy&Security:
Many great items here, tracks eraser, a file shredder in case you have a file that contains something no one should see. Opps you deleted a file, get it back from here, also encrypt and decrypt a file from here also
Files & folders:
Check your disk space from here check for updates as talked about in first item,
Find duplicate file, empty files, manage large file
Systems Tools:
Again sort of like Task manger, stop a process from here
Internet Explorer Assistant-manage you add-ons from here
Windows standard tools-direct access to default functions from here
Menu:
Restore center
Help -F1
Home page

About
-X
– Is to minimize

*****
Side note every couple of months be sure and check for updated version of this software as each one contains newer repairs for errors each time, see item#1. Very important!.
