Hey Hoarders, I need your help … Yes I’m am one of those messy kind of guys that has folders in folders where you can find - you expected it - folders.

Mostly it aren’t high important files, but images and videos - hundreds of thousands of them. Often there are like 12 duplicates of a image. That’s because I once in a while download my complete iCloud Photos, save them, forget what I already downloaded a few months later, download them again and so on.

I have like 6 external drives where you will find some duplicates too. So maybe on external 1,2,3,4 you also have one image like 5 times.

I know, it’s my own fault but I want to get my duplicates life back to normalization.

Additional do you have an idea for a really good folder structure? So I could keep my external hdd 1 for e.g. 2022/2023 and external hdd 2 for 2021/2020?

TLTR: I have an Chaos of images with duplicates I want to get rid but it think it’s out of hand at this point. Do you know any method / software or other helpers to bring harmony into my chaos? It’s content of my children from the last 9 years for example, but sometimes even older.

Thank you in advance
