Create duplicates list
Options:
- -r recursive

- -n ignore empty files
- -f ommit first occurrences
- Note: the exact order is not quite clear, it will help to do dirs separately
- -S show size
- -d delete (prompted)
fdupes -r -n -f /home/user > fdupes_list.txt
Create delete-file
cat fdupes_list.txt | sed 's/\(^.*$\)/rm "\1"/g' > rm_dupes.sh chmod u+x rm_dupes.sh
Or move them to trash:
cat fdupes_list.txt | sed 's/\(^.*$\)/mv "\1" ~\/\.local\/share\/Trash\/files/g' > move_dupes_to_trash.sh chmod u+x move_dupes_to_trash.sh
