hashclean

⚠️ USE AT YOUR OWN RISK ⚠️

A utility to de-duplicate media and other files based on hashing the contents of the file rather than relying on its filename

Usage

1. Create safe_words.txt & target_extensions.txt (can rename/copy the .example files)
2. Install requirements: python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Run hash_comp.py [space-separated list of directories to process (recursive)]

python.exe hash_comp.py C:/users/<me>/Documents/Media C:/users/<me>/Media

4. Wait for results... (suggest run overnight)
5. Run clean_hash.py on the results file (hash_res.txt)

python.exe clean_hash.py ./hash_res.txt -y

- use `-y` to indicate you want to delete files  
- omit `-y` or add `-t` to run in `test` mode
