Abstract
A method and system for data de-duplication in storage devices is disclosed. The method scans for the content within the storage device. When the method obtains all the content within the storage device, it checks for the duplicate content in the storage device. The method identifies duplicate content based on two criteria which include parametric level and Meta data level. The method switches to Meta data level when the method fails to identify duplicate content in parametric level. Further, the method obtains the input from user to delete or retain the duplicate content. If the user provides a confirmation for deleting the duplicate content, the method deletes the duplicate content.
