• Idk if this is r/techsupportgore or r/softwaregore

  Something that helps me is If you want to reformat, Winderstat scans your drive and shows you the size of every folder, plus a visual representation so you see whats taking up more space exactly. Source: 9 months ago

  There's a utility called WinDirStat that can visualize the storage on your drive to make tracking down large files easier. Source: 11 months ago

• 2 issues, not enough disk space to open some stuff on my computer, and defragmenting has been stuck at 75 percent for hours.

  Delete some things to get a bit of space, then download windirstat. This application scans your drive and provides a nice way to see your whole drive and what's taking up the most space. You can manually click on each colored area and delete entire directories instead of trying to hunt down whats taking up space. Source: 11 months ago

• Tools to deduplicate files

  Https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka by far the best of anything iv tried. Source: 7 months ago

• fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files

  I've used Czkawka (https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka) because it does Lanczos-based image duplicate detection, which makes it more practical for me. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• AllDup suddenly taking forever to process/delete selections

  Maybe it's a setting you made or the files, not sure. You can try another software czkawka to see if you get better results with it. Source: 8 months ago

• Is there a file duplicate finder that works with animated jpegxl-gif?

  For static images I used https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka and it works well enough. I think. But when I used it on a folder with gifs and their jxl conversions, it shows nothing. SURELY this could not be user error, rrrright? Source: 9 months ago

• PhotoPrism: Browse Your Life in Pictures

  I used to use DupeGuru which has some photo-specific dupe detection where you can fuzzy match image dupes based on content: https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/ But I switched over to czkawka, which has a better interface for comparing files, and seems to be a bit faster: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
