                Calculate space wasted because of duplicate files
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    Calculate the space wasted by duplicate files on your Hard Drive

Sometimes (rather always), duplicate files eat up space on hardrive. If you want to compute the total space wasted by
such duplicate files this utility script may come handy. fdupes is a nice utility that finds the duplicate files in the
given directories. This script consumes the fdupes output and calculates the space wasted.
These steps assume *nix flavor OS (OS X/Linux) but this might work on Windows+Cygwin as well

Install fdupes on your machine (verify by doing fdupes --version on Terminal)
