Python
This code first creates a dictionary to store the hashes of all the files in the directory. Then, it iterates over all the files in the directory. For each file, it gets the hash of the file and checks if the hash is already in the dictionary. If the hash is already in the dictionary, the file is removed. Otherwise, the hash of the file is added to the dictionary.
To use this code, you need to pass the path to the directory that you want to remove duplicate files from as the argument to the
remove_duplicates()
function. For example, to remove duplicate files from the directory/path/to/directory
, you would run the following code:Python
This code will remove all duplicate files from the directory
/path/to/directory
.
