Sir, As I spent about 3ours watching this. below is what I ting you are saying $ find ./ -type f -not -empty -not -path './/Library/*' -exec md5sum -r \: > file_list.txt find: missing argument to `-exec'.........I have linux mint. I have over 50000 files. I also have a USB drive. it is full as well. so where did I go wring. I am learing this.
Once you have your list of more-than-one duplicates how do your remove all but one? Would you add a command that will remove all but the first of each set of duplicates?

I think my provider was updating their systems. Should be back up now. Thanks for letting me know.

I don't know of a command off the top of my head to do that. If I come across an easy way to do it, I'll probably make a video.
