Another idea: instead of copies create hardlinks in /folder2 (ln without -s) and then use 'find /folder1 -links 2 ...' to remove the originals. Exact syntax left as an exercise to the reader. Method is a little fragile if hardlinks exist in /folder1. Use with caution. Additional space required is just the directory entries.
