rmlint

Find space waste and other broken things on your filesystem. More information: https://rmlint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rmlint.1.html.

• Check directories for duplicated, empty and broken files:

rmlint path/to/directory1 path/to/directory2 ...

• Check for space wasters, preferably keeping files in tagged directories (after the double slash):

rmlint path/to/directory // path/to/original_directory

• Check for space wasters, keeping everything in the untagged directories:

rmlint --keep-all-untagged path/to/directory // path/to/original_directory

• Delete duplicate files found by an execution of rmlint:

./rmlint.sh

• Find duplicate directory trees:

rmlint --merge-directories path/to/directory

• Mark files at lower path depth as originals, on tie choose shorter length:

rmlint --rank-by=dl path/to/directory

• Find only duplicates that have the same filename in addition to the same contents:

rmlint --match-basename path/to/directory

• Find only duplicates that have the same extension in addition to the same contents:

rmlint --match-extension path/to/directory
