@picklerickursion: Your drive is not full of files. It is full of the same file. 🗂️ Find them (no admin, run it on ONE folder):$d = Get-ChildItem $env:USERPROFILE\Downloads -Recurse -File | Get-FileHash | Group-Object Hash | Where-Object Count -gt 1 $d Add up what you are storing for nothing:($d | ForEach-Object { (Get-Item $_.Group[0].Path).Length * ($_.Count-1) } | Measure-Object -Sum).Sum / 1GB It fingerprints the contents, so renamed copies still get caught. final.pdf and final_v2 (1).pdf come back as the same file, because they are. Read this before you run it: ・Run the first block first. The second one needs $d from it, or you get nothing back and think it is broken ・Never point it at C:\. One user folder at a time. Downloads, then Pictures, then Documents ・It is slow on big folders. 40,000 photos takes minutes. It has not hung ・It finds. You delete. Some matches are one file two programs both need. Nothing here deletes anything, on purpose The $30 duplicate cleaner apps are a window around this. A progress bar, a checkout page, and a hash function that has been in Windows for years.
