So I’ve been consolidating all of my storage and removing all the duplicates and junk files.
In actual physical storage, this was spread across 12TB worth of hard drives, all partially full.
After everything was said and done, I’m using 1.3TB of space if you don’t include games. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is stuff dating back to 2015. Sometimes it’s actually worth it to just clean up your junk files.
This was done by hand on my end. If I had needed to do it procedurally, I’m not sure what my approach would have been, but the direction I’d probably head in would be to look into finding duplicate MD5 hashes.
