Is there an application that keeps the hash of files after they are deleted so that if one finds those files elsewhere they are detected as duplicates of previously deleted files?

Toot

Written by Dave Mackey on 2024-12-22 at 22:30

A bit of a deeper dive...

Lets say one has 100k files and one goes through those files and eliminates all the files one doesn't need. Later one discovers a USB drive that has 5k files on it. These may be worthless files but you can't know that, because you have no way to compare them to already dismissed as useless files that have been deleted.

Now repeat this process as one finds files on an old phone, tablet, cloud service, in email, etc.
