Go Find Duplicates: blazingly-fast simple-to-use tool to find duplicate files
I use and test assorted duplicate finders regularly.
fdupes is the classic (going way way back) but it's really very slow, not worth using anymore.
The four I know are worth trying these days (depending on data set, hardware, file arrangement and other factors, any one of these might be fastest for a specific use case) are https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes , https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind , https://github.com/jvirkki/dupd , https://github.com/sahib/rmlint
Had not encountered fclones before, will give it a try.

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
fdupes is really nice and fast, but (as far as I remember) it was lacking two features that I needed for my use case, which were 1°/ list duplicate dirs (without listing all of the duplicate sub-contents), and 2°/ being able to identify that all the contents in one dir would be included in another part of the FS (regardless of files/dir structures), which is particularly useful when you have a bigmess/ directory that you progressively sort-out in a clean/ directory. Said differently : fdupes helps to regain space but was not able to help me much to cleanup a messy drive...
This is why I wrote https://github.com/karteum/kindfs (which indexes the fs into an sqlite DB and then enables various ways to process it).
