Dedupe files of same size

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone? I dont have the correct sequence to dedupe my drive that may have have same names but different file sizes. I want to get rid of duplicate files with same file sizes

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive) MEGA

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

,,,, rclone dedupe mega: --by-hash,,,,
''''' rclone dedupe --size-only mega: ,,,,

Paste command here
"""   ,,,, rclone dedupe mega: --by-hash,,,,
''''' rclone dedupe --size-only mega:  ,,,,

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Im so sorry but i dont understand. im sorry i truly am just learning

hello and welcome to the forum,

can you post the output of
--- rclone version
--- rclone lsd mega: -vv

this command should list all the de-dupes, without removing any files.
rclone dedupe mega: --size-only --dedupe-mode=list

Hi so if i run - rclone dedupe mega: --size-only --dedupe-mode=list

it wont delete the files of the same size? im trying to get rid of same size files etc?

so you do not have any folders?

imho, before you permanently delete files, need to confirm what will be deleted.
this command will list the duplicated files, will NOT delete.
rclone dedupe mega: --size-only --dedupe-mode=list

Ive got many folders in the Mega drive, not sure why they didnt appear, when i run lsd again, they appear.

So basically id like dedupe to go though the entire remote and pick up and duplicate file sizes and delete them?

sorry bad wording, all files in the remote sharing the exact same file size, to be deleted

10

yes, i understand that.

11

Sorry sir, so what would be the best command to execute this? i do apologise again and thank you for your time

rclone dedupe will permanently delete files and i am nervous to help you.
