Thanks for bringing these options to youtube. I've been accumulating photos, pdf's, and iso's and forgetting which flash drive, external USB HDD, or internal HDD that I've stored these files. At times I can easily locate the dupes and delete one of them. I will install FSlint and try to recover some storage space after reading the man documentation for fdupes and FSlint. You, again, have explained this procedure that is very understandable to me.
Len, Most excellent. It seems to be so much faster than Windows apps. Please continue this branch of making world class Linux utility comparions videos. THANK YOU David
Len, I have fdupes installed on my Manjaro, I have ran it, but NOT used the delete option. Is it possible, instead of deleting,, to tell fdubes to move the files to an alternate location? So that way I can see first hand what it found?
hello sir, thanks for your video for better understanding, i have a doubt after finding the duplicate file how to include the sizes of the duplicate files
Len, something completely different, but have you done a video about installing linux on an external drive, and i've tried unetbootin for flash drives with persistence , neither i have managed to get to work , any advice would be helpful as i now have an external ssd drive.
Thanks for the content, it was quite well explained as usual. The tree options are great listed in this video and the work as expected, but there's a case I had to face in my practice. In Windows I was using old but quite useful program "AntiTween" and was looking for linux alternatives to this soft. In my case I had some files in my external HD and some of them (a lot of them) on my PC and the goal was to compare two folders (a folder in external HD and a folder on My PC Desktop) to find the duplicate files before I copy them into my external HD (backup drive). In AntiTween (windows) soft is great as it has this feature (to compare two folders (maybe more than two, I never used so far)) which I did not find in these three programs on linux. I will be figuring out if I can do it, maybe I missed something. thanks
@dontcallmeLenny (I know that's not the proper way to mention people in comments, but I can never remember what the right way is... "+【username]? ), I get an error "could not chdir to [my directory name]". do you know why that would be? I am using sudo, of course
Sir, Again I am writing, I cant down load the fdupes or any of the others. I am using Linux Mint. it is tell me the file is missing.It is saying, not able to down load the files.
I know Linux is way faster than Windows. Are there any tools out there that will let Linux recognize my NTSC external hard drive so I can dedupe the files on it?
there is something that always happend to me every time i install Linux, Good Linux install, Bad Linux install, can't display Linux, or always do reboot recently, that caused my windows can't boot. can' t read boot image.. is this caused UEFI? should i install with Legacy? without thinking to find solution, i just recover my Windows again and again 3 times. is there any solved problem about to recover the bootable windows?
Len, I just found you. I have two folders. I think the hard drive is full.as I am watching you. As I may make a mistake. Some months back I was asked to save something. That save is a folder. As I don't . As I am watching you. Can I delete the folder. So what happens to what is in it. I have a year with linux. Looking for some ideas.
Nothing I found for Linux is as good as programs I've run in windows... "Duplicate Cleaner Free" and "Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder" are much more powerful.
Hmm. Since you didn't say what the dupeguru-se is, I did a search and it has been depricated as well as the two you did install. See here: aur.archlinux.org/packages/dupeguru-se/ This package is depreciated. aur.archlinux.org/packages/dupeguru/ will replace all other three dupeguru packages. (latest ? dupeguru 4.0.3-3)

Informative info about using fdupes in Linux. Thanks Len.
You are most welcome :)
FYI fdupes 20,529, in 5038 sets at 9:00 min and FSlint 20517, in 5037 groups at 12:00 min. Curious
I noticed that also. I'm checking it out to find out why.
Len, I have fdupes installed on my Manjaro, I have ran it, but NOT used the delete option. Is it possible, instead of deleting,, to tell fdubes to move the files to an alternate location? So that way I can see first hand what it found?
I have not found a way to automatically move the duplicates to a new location or folder. When I do I will let you know :)
Hello Len !
Excellent video and very useful utilities !
Best regards,
Serge
Thank you Serge :)

Len, I second that. PLEASE
David
I am installing a new SSD today. I will try to install to an external SSD and will share that with you in a video soon.
Great , Thank you Len
Just what I needed. Could not get duplicates to work in digiKam FSlint did the trick very well.
Glad it helped you Robert. Thanks for stopping by!

I use jdupes, which has some options that I miss in fdupes. And it is a much faster than fdupes.
Hi! Thanks for shouting out my fork of fdupes! I'm glad it's useful to you. You may appreciate the features I added in July 2020. Check it out.
@dontcallmeLenny (I know that's not the proper way to mention people in comments, but I can never remember what the right way is... "+【username]? ), I get an error "could not chdir to [my directory name]". do you know why that would be? I am using sudo, of course
Thanks for the video. Very useful info.
Thank you Lance :)

thanks... fdupes doesnt work on my filesystem since many of the directories have names with spaces... :(
thanks a lot man very helpful i needed this
You are very welcome!
You'll probably be happier with jdupes, my fork of fdupes. Do pacman -S jdupes and enjoy. Especially try out the extfilter stuff under '-X help'.

Thank you great help now can you do one on how to defrag my Linux
There really shouldn't be a need to defrag in Linux. That's a windows thing :)
At one time, I live in FSlint, Michigan
Cool :)
thank you /very helpfull
