Duplicate files created

[jpotrz]

So I used the unbalance plugin and it seems to have created a bunch of duplicate (if not triplicate) files on my server. Is there a good way to identify these dupes and delete all but 1?

 

I can navigate in the unRaid UI and see single files on 2 or even 3 disks. I tried dupeGuru scanning in /storage/ but it's not seeing those files? Maybe I'm doing something wrong though?  Any help would be appreciated as I've now got TBs of dupes sitting here.

If the files are in the same location on different disks the you could look at using the script here to identify them all:

This can happen if you stop the move before it is done. First it copies the files, then after the copy is done it deletes the originals.

 

If you still have the unbalance running, you will see duplicate files until the operation completes successfully.
