I have a lot of duplicate image files on my Windows computer, in different subfolders and with different filenames.

What Python script or freeware program would you recommend for removing the duplictes?

(I've read this similar question, but the poster there is asking about visual duplicates with differing filesizes. Mine are exact duplicates with different filenames.)
