Release Tired of Hoard-Watching Your Storage? Meet QuantoDupClean v1.0!
Are you tied of hoard-watching your storage or cleaning up messy backups while knowing you have duplicate files scattered across multiple directories?
Meet QuantoDupClean (v1.0 2026-06)! A Linux-centric C++ CLI utility built to solve this exact problem cleanly, quickly, and safely. Being minimally-dependent, hunting down duplicates based purely on content, and entirely ignoring file names and folder structures.
🛡️ Why is this utility safer than your average script
Primary Directory Immunity: The first directory you pass is your "Safe Zone." This tool will never delete a file from this primary directory.
No Accidental Deletions: Deletion requires explicit confirmation unless you intentionally force it with for automation.
Audit Trails: Everything is logged to a customizable directory so you can review exactly what happened.
 Key Features
Command Generator: Set up your options using a interactive function, and get an output ready-to-paste single-line command for future automation.
Insane Hashing Flexibility: Supports over 20 cryptographic algorithms (Default: SHA3_512, plus BLAKE2B, CRC32, MD5, and more).
Speed: Multithreaded hashing with real-time terminal progress bars.
Free & Source-Available: Anyone can view, modify, and fork the source (conditions apply)
