      So I'm looking to clean up our network shares, I'm certain there are GB if not Hundreds of GB of duplicate files on our shares. I'm looking for a quick way to find these files (preferably by HASH file) and to export / represent this to the people who will ultimately be forced to clean up the mess.

      Any recommendations?

        We recently purchased Easy Duplicate Finder for a client. WeThey were not interested in auto cleanup, so have not used any advanced feature beyond scanning directories and making lists for the users to look at.

                I use Folder Size. It's awesome. Only $60, does soooo much.

                  I will almost never choose to use a product that advertises this kind of stuff.

                    I found this which seems to cover all of my needs and is open source.
