rclone dedupe
Interactively find duplicate files delete/rename them.
Synopsis
By default dedup
interactively finds duplicate files and offers to
delete all but one or rename them to be different. Only useful with
Google Drive which can have duplicate file names.
The dedupe
command will delete all but one of any identical (same
md5sum) files it finds without confirmation. This means that for most
duplicated files the dedupe
command will not be interactive. You
can use --dry-run
to see what would happen without doing anything.
Here is an example run.
Before - with duplicates
$ rclone lsl drive:dupes

Now the dedupe

Dedupe can be run non interactively using the --dedupe-mode
flag or by using an extra parameter with the same value
--dedupe-mode interactive
- interactive as above.--dedupe-mode skip
- removes identical files then skips anything left.--dedupe-mode first
- removes identical files then keeps the first one.--dedupe-mode newest
- removes identical files then keeps the newest one.--dedupe-mode oldest
- removes identical files then keeps the oldest one.--dedupe-mode rename
- removes identical files then renames the rest to be different.
For example to rename all the identically named photos in your Google Photos directory, do
rclone dedupe --dedupe-mode rename "drive:Google Photos"
Or
rclone dedupe rename "drive:Google Photos"
rclone dedupe [mode] remote:path
