I was super sloppy for a while before i found my external hdd and got more organized with my downloading so I want something to go through the whole drive and eliminwte the duplicates to free up the massive amount of space they’re taking up

I don’t use Windows, but I’ve used fdupes on Linux. The WP page says that there’s some Windows build, but I don’t see Windows binaries on their release page.

When I hit alternativeto.com, it listed Czkawka as a graphical alternative to fdupes, and it looks like that does run on Windows. I have not used it, though.

EDIT: Ah, here’s the Windows-compatible fdupes fork, jdupes. I do see Windows binaries on their releases page.

I have used doublekiller, dupeguru, and visipics. Last one is focused on images.
