Amazing tool for finding files that could be deleted!

It's ok for small jobs, but useless for anything large. It asks you to manually confirm that you don't want to delete every copy of a file for hundreds of cases, and there's no way to simplify it.

And it's ridiculously slow for anything large. It seems like just the act of deleting thousands of files can take hours. Scanning them takes even longer.
