52801 or 53801?  There is a very good reason to have at least two copies of the files in this download.  Usually when you install the drivers you make a copy of the zipped file to a folder in your My Documents folder or to your desktop (not a very good practice).  When you double click to start the autoextractor, the files are expanded to a folder of the same name, usually to the C:\Dell\Drivers directory.  Once there, an installation wizard is executed to write the files to the appropriate location in Windows/System and make the necessary amendments to the registry.  If you don't delete the original file that you downloaded, some of these applications are capable of viewing the contents of zipped files, resulting in at least two reports of the R5?801 folder and its contents. Applications like the one you have installed, and now hopefully removed, usually cause more trouble than good.  The hard drive you have has so much space that removing these small driver folders will not significantly increase the storage capacity on your computer.  What is worse, however, I have read posts from folks who delete files needed by their computers for proper operation.  Making sure that your My Documents folder is properly organized is all you should really need to do.  The housekeeping functions of Windows should be sufficient for what remains.
Hi, Dimension 3000, xp pro, ie8. I downloaded PC total health, freeware to search for duplicate files because in my documents there would be two copies of my office word documents. Well no documents were found but the scan showed several duplicates of my dell drivers download 52801. As each one had the same kb but different names, I did not delete any thing. I looked on my c drive and there is only one folder for R53801, exactly as downloaded from the dell drivers and downloads website. Since I could not tell what were duplicates, I just exited and then uninstalled the program. Can anyone tell me why it would find so many duplicates in one folder, this was on a clean install done on 23 Mar 2011. Since it did not find dupes in my documents, I just deleted them my self as they would not open. Hopefully they would not come back. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Duplicate files found?
