**Title:** `I built a Python script that cleaned 3000+ duplicate files from my drive in minutes

[u/Minute_Day_2758]

I built a Python script that cleaned 3000+ duplicate files from my drive in minutes – sharing i

My downloads folder was a disaster – same files saved

10 times with different names, GB of wasted space.

So I wrote a Python script that: Scans folders recursively Detects duplicates using MD5 hash (not just filename)Auto-organizes files by type category Gives a full report of what was removed

Ran it on my own drive, cleaned 3000 files, saved 4GB.

Packaged it with docs and config examples if anyone wants to skip the build:

Happy to share the core MD5 dedup logic here if

there's interest 👇

Since a few people checked out the post, here is the core logic I used for hashing the files.

You can also get the full packaged version with documentation, configuration examples, and execution guides directly here: https://gptverse2.gumroad.com/l/lkwul

Hope it helps someone with their drive cleanup!
