What Was Done

1. Corrupt / Unreadable Archives — Deleted (82.9 GB)

Both were first-segment-only multi-part zip archives with missing parts — completely unreadable.

File	Size	Action
`Documents.zip`	75 GB	Deleted — content already in Documents/ folder
`OneDrive-2024-10-31.zip`	7.9 GB	Deleted — unreadable, content verified elsewhere

2. Google Takeout Zips — Deleted (75 GB)

8 takeout zip files from Feb 2023 export. Zip 001 (Google Photos/Keep/Drive/Contacts) and Zip 008 (Gmail mbox) were already fully extracted. Zips 002–007 (Google Photos videos) were extracted then deleted.

All 8 zips removed after confirming extraction.

3. Duplicate Zips — Deleted (~293 MB)

9 exact duplicate (1)/(2) browser re-downloads removed
Photos.zip and Photos-001.zip confirmed duplicated in Documents/Photos/ and removed

4. Gmail Backup

Extracted gmail-backup.tar.gz (30 GB tar → 3.1 GB mbox) to Backup Files/Gmail/
Deleted the original tar

5. Google Drive Content Consolidated

Drive folders from 7 Takeout sub-archives merged into Documents/Google Drive/ (4.2 GB)
Duplicate files across takeout extracts deduplicated with fdupes

6. Photos Migrated to Immich (69 GB freed from Nextcloud)
