fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
My preferred solution is rmlint [https://github.com/sahib/rmlint] mostly because it also looks at duplicate directories. It produces a bash script instead of deleting anything itself, so you can examine it before running the script it made.

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.
