Need to search for and delete duplicate pics PC

[maumau]

Several folders on my hard drive contain duplicate pictures.

Pse recommend a free programme to search for duplicates. I'll delete them manually.

TIA

Do they have the same file name, or different names?

Think I heard somewhere that you can do this in Dropbox or drive, pop them in there.

 

[Steamy Tom]

are they named the same or at least very similar?

a simple c# console app will do this

Do a md5 hash of all the pictures.. print the file names where duplicates exist, move duplicates to a new folder and delete folder..

Not so trivial if you have resized/edited images for web/whatsapp,etc, the hash will be diff.
You'll need more intelligent s/w

I just installed this and ran it and it found duplicates (same file name for all files though.)

Just renamed the files - still finds them in all 3 locations.

Back in the days when I use to store porn (Pre uncapped + Pornhub)

I use to roll with VisiPics.

Might wanna give that a try. Besides its free so all you waste is time + bandwith

Edit: unlike the others above VisiPics dont care about filenames pic res/size It actually matches simular looking images based on a slider with the option to manually pick the ones you want to keep in a neat interface.

It will still eliminate a schiteload of images which is a good start.

Use this,

http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/

dupeGuru will run on any os.

Fslint is a linux app but it will run from a liveusb on just about any system. It's a cli app with a gui front end so the cli component might even run on Win10 using bash and osx using macports/xdarwin etc.

Both can analise the file contents via hashing which is what you want.

CCleaner is free and has a Duplicate File checker that I use.

This is the one you want! DupeGuru that is.
