you can totally messup the original filestructureby deleting the wrong hardlink. (because deleting is unnecessary)

In the notes I recommended to uncheck (use Hard Links)..
What is the RDF ..?
1)Folder Game....."That contains 2 subfolders + Files A-H"
Folder 1 "contains" (A=10mb, B=20Mb, C=30mb, D=40mb)
Folder 2 "contains" (E=50mb, F=60Mb, G=70mb, H=80mb)
2)The program divides considering the size of the largest single file since it can not 'split the single file.
3)Then you will sum "A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H = 360mb/80Mb = 4.5 Folders "that the program rounds up to 5 Folders"
So:
Folder 1 = "A+B+C"
Folder 2 = "A+C"
Folder 3 = "A+D+H"
Folder 4 = "F+G+E"
Folder 5 = "B+C+D+G"
Now comes in RDF eliminates all duplicates in the five folders, leaving the individual files as well as real and 'the original folder including the size.
Before using RDF = "A+B+C" + "A+C" + "A+D+H" + "F+G+E" + "B+C+D+G" = 15file : 570mb
After using RDF = "A+B" + "C+D" + "E" + "F+G" + "H" = 8file : 360mb.
very simple
