Finished Programs / Duplicated Folders/Directories...
« on: April 13, 2023, 06:13 AM »
Hi All
I have not posted for yonks, but still check back here every now and then... I have a question or request if anyone is bored...
I have scanned the forum, and can't find anything relating to this...
Anyway. I am trying to find something that will scan for duplicate folders/directories. In that, a whole folder has been copied elsewhere and now two versions exist. A crude method could be that it simply checks the number of files and the names of the files (bur would be better if content/checksum were checked also).
I use onedrive, and if I scan for a file often it comes back in more than one destination. I am sure this is there I have accidentally copied a folder or uploaded the same images more than once.
I know I can use a filededupe (I created a command line one myself, which is why I now know I have duplicated folders). I appear to be using so much space on duplicated stuff, it is so annoying!
Anyone got anything that can do this at a folder level?
Cheers
