A Windows command line tool for to identify and optionally remove duplicate files
Usage: Dedup
This program will find duplicate files within a folder
Options:
-D - delete duplicates, keeping the file with the oldest creation date
-S - show each duplicate
-L - create links for duplicates
The idea for this tool came to me because I was copying pictures from my iphone to my computer, then later on copying them again as I took more and more pictures. After a while I realized I was getting a whole bunch of duplicate pictures on my computer. After a while it became unfeasible to manually find and delete duplicate pictures so I created this tool to automate the process.
It can be used for any file types, I just happen to use it for pictures. It doesn't use the file name to determine if a file is a copy, it goes by file contents.
