Check directories for duplicated, empty, and broken files

rmlint path/to/directory1 path/to/directory2 ...

Check for duplicates bigger than a specific size, preferably keeping files in tagged directories (after the double slash)

rmlint -s 1MB path/to/directory // path/to/original_directory

Check for space wasters, keeping everything in the untagged directories

rmlint -k path/to/directory // path/to/original_directory
