The Best Way to handle finding and removiong Duplicate Files
Akertyna:
I tried searching on laptopmag and techgara how to use ccleaner to delete duplicate files but this way can only delete files with the same name.
Is there a way to delete duplicate files but have different names?

Thanks for your response, sir!

I'm looking for something with source code because I'm a bit wary of using a program that's going to be scanning a lot of files -- though in this case it's for someone who is unlikely to be using a non-GUI solution.
My preliminary searches turned up a couple of candidates.
Are there any reasons to not consider the current incarnation of dupeguru or Duplicate Files Finder?

Appreciate some opinions (informed or otherwise) :)

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.
