Personally I feel snowed under with what I've got. There's countless files on my PC scattered everywhere. Documents, pictures (probably in the 100,000s), audio files, video files. It's most certainly not organised at all, it's scattered all over the hard drives on this PC in various folders & folders of folders.
But to make it better I had no real backup plan. I'd just drag & drop and then not really remember what I'd backed up and what I hadn't so then I'd buy a new hard drive & make another copy because the last drive was fairly full.
I now have a number of drives that surely have many multiples of various single files.
My end goal is I would like some organisation rather than random files & folders scattered here there & everywhere. I'd like to get rid of the multiple duplicate files & also delete files I no longer want/need.
Have any of you attacked this kind of task? Any tips or do you really just do it file-by-file? Which to be honest with what I've got & the fact I only have limited time outside of work, this is going to take me many months if not 12months plus .... and that's if I get stuck in & stay focused doing it day in day out.
