He "only" saved 30%? That's amazing. I really doubt most people are going to get anywhere near that.

When I run it on my home folder (Roughly 500GB of data) I find 124 MB of duplicated files.

At this stage I'd like it to tell me what those files are - The dupes are probably dumb ones that I can simply go delete by hand, but I can understand why he'd want people to pay up first, as by simply telling me what the dupes are he's proved the app's value :-)

You misunderstood my comment. I ran it on my home folder which contains 165GB of data and it found 1.3GB is savings. That isn't significant for me to care about because I currently have 225GB free of my 512GB drive.

BTW I highly recommend the free "disk-inventory-x" utility for MacOS space management.

Everyone misunderstood your comment for a reason.

You wrote: but it only found 1GB of savings on a 8.1GB folder.

It’s quite a saving and that’s what everyone understood from your comment.

Another 30% more than the 1GB saved in node modules, for 1.3GB total. Not 30% of total disk space.

For reference, from the comment they’re talking about:

> I then tried again including my user home folder (731K files, 127K folders, 2755 eligible files) to hopefully catch more savings and I only ended up at 1.3GB of savings (300MB more than just what was in the NodeJS folders.)
