Help needed to clean up space on my storage (lemmy.ca)

I've transferred over my Google backup multiple times. I have multiple "takeout" directories with duplicate data. Some of them are zip files too.

Is there a tool I can use to find and delete duplicate files? I tried letting Dupeguru run, but eventually it said I was out of memory, and it was not useful in finding or deleting anything.

Edit: I'm on Linux.

The linux version is called Meld. Bu as we are in !selfhosting@slrpnk.net, I guess full GUIs are not an option, I recommend ncdu which has a nice TUI.

thanks for steering this in the right direction

I’m not really awake yet, so I didn’t look at the community name

btw alternativeto.net has filtering options for open source and Linux options if op wants even more options
