[Hidden-tech] halp ......so many duplicate files

[Rob Laporte]

Hi Elyssa,

Jon Ogrydziak and Zach Fried (cc'd) both did excellent work for my firm on deduping a year and ~4 years ago respectively. I used Jon for his network and Microsoft 365 expertise as well.

Deduping seems like it would be a simple software solution, but it's usually a lot more intricate than that, demanding professional skill.

Subject: [Hidden-tech] halp ......so many duplicate files

Hey friends and neighbors,

A few years ago, my old Macbook died.  Some nice folks were able to "rescue the data", and put it on my new Macbook.  They created a new user to do this, and duplicate files of all my data and apps.  Then my old new Macbook died.  Some nice folks were able to "rescue the data", and put it on my new new Macbook.  My new new Macbook has three users on it, each with the old old data 3 times, and the old data 2 times and the new new data once.  This sucks.  Almost all my memory is used up.

I tried to download a duplicate file deleter app, but I couldn't because I don't have enough memory to download the one app, and I don't have a recent enough version of Mac Os to download the other.

What can I do?  I have kerzillions of files.  I tried going through the list one by one using a "Smart Folder", but I have over 12,000 just jpgs.  I have an external hard drive... I wonder if that could be put to good use in this endeavor.

Oh good techies of the valley... what do you know about this? <3
