The Best Way to handle finding and removiong Duplicate Files
rjbull:
Back when I was more excercised about nuking dupes, I used
DoubleKiller. Last update was 2015, as the author is probably working on his PhD.
Two more different approaches:
Cathy is a media cataloguing tool; in my experience, it's very fast at making catalogues. It has a "search duplicates or singles" feature.
Nir Sofer's SearchMyFiles has a "Find duplicates" feature that can be combined with normal file-finding criteria.

Used dupeGuru reasonably recently to remove something like 400+GB of duplicate backup files for a friend, (a laborious undertaking - backups of backups of backups of .... ), worked well.
There's also AntiDupl if you want to find primarily image duplicates, (or close duplicates), including across different formats - my go to software for that instance.

I'm more in favor of dupeGuru now. I had used it a bit before, but your opinion is much appreciated!
Had never heard of AntiDupl, thanks for mentioning it.
