    In Windows certain words are reserved for system use. When naming files and directories, you are unable to use these words. Con, being short for “console”, is one of these words. Con is also the Spanish word for “with”, so a Spanish speaking user could not, for example, have a directory called “Fotos con Jim”.







  • Here’s a script from GPT4:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    # Create a temporary file for storing file checksums
    tempfile=$(mktemp)
    
    # Generate MD5 checksums for all files in the current directory and its sub-directories
    find . -type f -exec md5sum '{}' \; | sort > $tempfile
    
    # Detect and delete duplicates
    awk 'BEGIN {
        lasthash = "";
        lastfile = "";
    }
    {
        if ($1 == lasthash) {
            print "Deleting duplicate file: " $2;
            system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
        } else {
            lasthash = $1;
            lastfile = $2;
        }
    }' $tempfile
    
    # Clean up
    rm -f $tempfile
    

    This script can be run with Termux from the root of your internal storage. Usually /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0. Do not confuse this with running from root if you are rooted.

    Before using a script that interacts with your files you should backup anything that is important just in case.

    Furthermore, if you comment out:

    system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
    

    By adding a # in front of it like this:

    # system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
    

    You can run the script and see what files the script would delete without actually deleting them. I would recommend doing this as I have not tested this script.
