Remove duplicate files from TargetFolder that are also in SourceFolder -- if they have same filename
I used this script with the latest Bash 5. You should be fine with the stock install. Please be careful. You should be able to set your directories as &quot;dir1&quot; (source) and &quot;dir2&quot; (destination files that will be removed if they exist in source).
Basically, the &quot;getall&quot; function will create two arrays of recursive files like: &quot;/fullpath/filename.&quot; The ladder part will trim the paths to the filenames for comparison, compare the file names and file sizes, and list or delete duplicates.
You should always make backups and test the script on dummy files. Hopefully you can edit the script to meet your needs. You can simply copy and paste into terminal after you choose your directories.

#This tool is for removing duplicate files among backup directories.
#compares two directory trees, matches filenames, calc/ compare sizes to determine duplicates.
