delete-duplicate-files

Deletes all files in a folder that match the given hashes.

This will use a file hash you choose in order to delete any files in a folder you choose which have that same hash.

This version of this command ONLY uses UTF-8 encoded SHA-512 hashes!

Usage

(chopped down for readability)

delete-matching-files
    [--hash <hash>]
    [--hash-file-name <hash-file-name>]
    [--output-volume <output-volume>]
    <folder-path>

Arguments

• <folder-path> – The path to the folder which this will clean. This is required to ensure you understand that files in this folder will be deleted.

Options

• --hash <hash> – A hash which will be used instead of the hash file. If excluded, the hash file will be used
• --hash-file-name <hash-file-name> – Overides the default hash file name
• --output-volume <output-volume> – The volume (amount) of output you want from this command (default: unix)
• --version – Show the version.
• --help – Show help information.

Providing hashes to this utility

By default, the name of the file which contains the designated hash(es) is delete-files-matching-hashes.txt.

You may choose a different file with the --hash-file-name option. You may also provide a hash without using a file at all by using the --hash option.

Providing both of those options at the same time is not defined behavior.
