Today's article is similar to another article, but that was about removing duplicates with rdfind. This time around, we're doing the same thing - but we're doing it with fdupes. You can use one or the other, assuming you know about both (which you now do, if you didn't already).
Of course, one should exercise care when removing duplicates. I once tested this by blindly running rdfind on the root directory. Sure enough, that VM never booted properly again. So, don't do that. Pay attention to what's being deleted - if you even bother. After all, today you have plenty of disk space for not a whole lot of money. Saving a few bits and bytes isn't going to make too much of a difference.
Enjoy!
