Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look into it.
I use fslint myself. Basically a linter for files :)
Thanks, I'll check it out. :)
For the case that you use synology: already built in in the storage analyser feature
Otherwise: no clue tbh
I feel like most NAS OSes have this feature built in.
I have a Synology Nas. Never seen this function but I'll search for it, thanks!
It does, look for storage analyzer.

Thank you! I'll check it out.
Its very nice. I use -Sr1 so I can then pull into a spreadsheet and look at the files and decide which one I want to keep.
I personally use rdfind as it has an option to replace duplicates with hardlinks instead of deleting them outright (if on the same filesystem). This is useful if you do still need a file to exist at multiple paths.
I then use Czkawka for everything else, especially for similar, non-duplicate files.
Ooh, that's smart! Thanks for the recommendation.
Do you want something that runs on your NAS or from another computer? What OS(es) are you using?
Either way, have no real preference. :)
