Hi,

Hello,

I want to remove any duplicate files(same in content with different file
names) in a particular directory.

How can we do that?

Find all files that are the same size, then open them in binary mode and compare the contents.

And what if the file is being accessed by some process. Can we delete it?

Probably not on Windows, probably yes on Unix/Linux.
