There are a gazillion utilities meant to detect and delete duplicate files. Here you go:Ĭool stuff? Take a look at my other scripts here: Thanks to Kenward Bradley’s one-liner which sparks the idea in me to write this script. Selected files moved to C:\Duplicates_$date" Destination $env:SystemDrive\Duplicates_$date -Force Path $env:SystemDrive\Duplicates_$date -Force Selected files will be moved to C:\Duplicates_$date" ` "Select files (CTRL for multiple) and press OK. $d.Group | Select-Object -Property Path, Hash $duplicates = Get-ChildItem $filepath -File -Recurse `

I want to change that with you in this blog post. Files are accidentally or deliberately moved from location to location without first considering that these duplicate files consumes more and more storage space. Big data usually means a huge number of files such as photos and videos and finally a huge amount of storage space. We are living in a big data world which is both a blessing and a curse.
