Help needed to clean up space on my storage
I've transferred over my Google backup multiple times. I have multiple "takeout" directories with duplicate data. Some of them are zip files too.
Is there a tool I can use to find and delete duplicate files? I tried letting Dupeguru run, but eventually it said I was out of memory, and it was not useful in finding or deleting anything.
Edit: I'm on Linux.
To find duplicates i suggest https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka
WinMerge
The linux version is called Meld. Bu as we are in ![email protected], I guess full GUIs are not an option, I recommend ncdu which has a nice TUI.
thanks for steering this in the right direction
I’m not really awake yet, so I didn’t look at the community name
btw alternativeto.net has filtering options for open source and Linux options if op wants even more options
I've been using jdupes for a week or so and it's worked well. It's got a few options for deduplication if you just want to reclaim space and organization isn't your priority (e.g. symlink/hardlink creation, block-level deduplication).
