How to use fslint to mass delete or mass merge duplicate files with command line?

  • 772

Using FSlint terminal or command line options, is there a command to mass delete (all but the first of the group) or mass merge (with symlinks) all files within a directory?

command-line duplicate-files

  1. I found it using the command findup

    to merge all the duplicated files within a directory

    When -m is specified any found duplicates will be merged (using hardlinks)

    sudo /usr/share/fslint/fslint/findup -m -f <directory>

    to delete all the duplicated files within a directory

    When -d is specified any found duplicates will be deleted (leaving just 1)

    sudo /usr/share/fslint/fslint/findup -d -f <directory>

    Option -f list the files
