Define "files"

If they're system files, leave it alone. Windows 7 does something clever with symbolic links to make it look like you've duplicate files when in fact there's only one copy.

If you want to clean up cruft, I can recommend [url= http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/TFC-Temp-File-Cleaner-OldTimer-file187.html ]TFC[/url].

If you're talking about something else, can you elaborate?

If you've found them to identify that they are duplicates, why not just hit delete?

Lots of "pictures" and "videos" yeah? 😉

Don't be ashamed, we all need to clear out our collection every now and again, though 81gb is quite a habit!
