[SOLVED] Delete duplicate only in one folder

Hello everybody !

I have two folder which contains some directories, sub-directories and many many files !
I would like delete in Folder B and their subfolders the files that already exists in Folder A and their sub-folders but without delete duplicated files in Folder A.

I try with jdupes :

jdupes -O /master/folder/A/ /folder/to/clear/B -X size+:1M -X onlyext:JPG,AVI,PDF,MOV,RAF -r

The problem is that this command delete also the duplicates files in folder A that I don't want.

Is there a way with jdupes or an other program to do that ?

Thanks a lot by advance, have a nice day !

MaMaths.

Re: [SOLVED] Delete duplicate only in one folder

Hello,

I don’t know jdupes, but fdupes does that:

fdupes -rd /master/folder/A /folder/to/clear/B

In interactive mode you may then select all matches from B and delete them (fdupes’ interactive mode manual):

selb /folder/to/clear/B
ds
prune
