Hi there  
I’m just starting with nextcloud (such a great solution), and i think this would be really useful.  
I think maybe using and integrating an already existent tool would be possible. I was just searching and found ‘rmlint’. Maybe there’s a reason not to do so, that I’m totally overseeing.  
I thought I could just drop in the idea.  
I’d gladly help if convenient.  
Greetings 🙂
