Duplicates removal
Firstly, use fslint-gui to scan the whole home directory and get an idea of te potential gain in hard disk space.
Find pattern of duplicates (for instance, sames files in 3 different directories
It is quite boring to delete files from a particular directory with fslint so use fdupes to automatize that:
To find files existing both in the current directory and in another directory recursively and display the size that cain be gained if the duplicates were removed
fdupes -NmSr /home/claire/Bureau/photos/photosclaire/chantier ./ 5117 duplicate files (in 5035 sets), occupying 1154.0 megabytes
To get the details of each duplicates:
fdupes -NSr /home/claire/Bureau/photos/photosclaire/chantier ./
To effectively delete the files and keep only the first version (so remove those in the current directory)
fdupes -NdSr /home/claire/Bureau/photos/photosclaire/chantier ./
Once the duplicates files have been deleted, remove the resulting empty directories
find . -depth -type d -empty -exec rmdir -v {} +
effacement automatique des doublons
autre façon en pipant Pour rechercher les doublons entre dir1 et dir2 et effacer les fichiers en double se trouvant dans dir1
fdupes -rf ./dir1/ ./dir2 | grep /dir1/ | xargs rm

Once all that is done, click File→Compact Folders to really gain the space on your harddrive
