Got tired of duplicate versions eating up space, so I made PlexDeDupe.

It scans your library, shows all duplicates, lets you pick which to keep (largest for quality or smallest for space), then removes the extras. Files go to Recycle Bin, not permanently deleted. Freed up .5TB on my first run.

Free & open source: https://github.com/SabrosoCuy/PlexDeDupe

Requirements:Python 3.6 or higher, Plex Media Server, Plex authentication token (Instructions provided in GUI), PlexAPI Python library (pip install plexapi).

I have not tried this with remote drives as mine are all local but it should work.

PS: I used Claude Opus 4 to help write this.
