fclones is a fast, efficient command-line tool written in Rust for finding and removing duplicate files. It uses content hashing and size-based pre-filtering to quickly identify duplicates across large file systems.
Use cases
- find duplicate files on disk
- free up disk space by removing duplicates
- deduplicate photo or music collections
- clean up duplicate downloads
- list duplicate files before deleting
- replace files with hardlinks or symlinks to save space
When to choose
- you need a fast, reliable duplicate finder for large file systems
- you want a scriptable CLI tool rather than a GUI
- you need options like linking or removing duplicates safely
- you work on Linux, macOS, or Windows from the terminal
When to avoid
- you prefer a graphical duplicate finder
- you need to find similar (not exact) files like fuzzy image matching
- you need a cross-platform desktop app with preview UI
