Default Merging Computer Files and Folders

Hey Everyone,

I've done some searching around the interwebs but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for, so I figured I'd ask here.

I'm looking for a computer program that will merge computer folders and files for me, keeping one copy only. For example...I have a "pictures" folder with 100's of sub-folders, which all have their own pictures and even more subfolders. The problem is that I have several "pictures" folders(old computer, back up hard drive, new computer, etc.). I want to merge them all without losing any pictures and not having any duplicates.

The problem I'm running into, is say I have a folder called ABC. The first version might have pictures 1, 2, 3, and 4 in it. The second version might have those pictures, plus pictures 5 and 6. The programs I've found won't combine those pictures and clean it up.

I suppose I could just spend an afternoon and go through all of them...I was just being lazy. Any suggestions anybody has used in the past?

Thanks!
