Are there any Open Source apps for finding and deleting duplicate files? - eviltoast

Hi Android Community, I previously used “DFCleaner” which was a free, ad-supported app that searched specified folders for duplicate files and let you preview and delete anything that it found. This app now bothers me with a consent form for ad tracking so I’ve ditched it in protest. Are there any open source alternatives to this app? I’ve tried looking in F-Droid but couldn’t find anything relevant.

    It happens when you save interesting memes from time to time and forget that you already saved some of them a few weeks ago. Google Files helped me spot many of those duplicates.

      … but why would you save them? What do you do with them afterwards? Do you also backup and archive them, or do you normally delete them after some time?
