Anyone know of a trustworthy, easy to use (ideally FOSS) program that will allow me to easily identify and compare duplicate files on windows 10? Alternatively, could you point me in the direction of (kbin.social)

As title suggests, I'm looking to clean up my desktop from any duplicates I have across my different drives, but would also like to be able to easily compare them to make sure they definitely are the same before I delete them.

TIA!

Pretty sure you could use a recursive diff and output duplicate names to rm

Obviously after making triple sure what you're doing

Doesn't look like something I can do on windows without downloading a software, which is what I'm actually looking for, but thanks

Oh shit, sorry, I didn't see that.
