Delete product duplicate images

The following solutions helps to find duplicate image file for each product and to remove it.
Create file delete.php in Magento base directory, put the following code into the file.

<?php
include('app/Mage.php');
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ob_implicit_flush(1);

$mediaApi  = Mage::getModel("catalog/product_attribute_media_api");
$_products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
$i         = 0;
$total     = count($_products);
$count     = 0;
foreach ($_products as $_prod) {
    $_product   = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_prod->getId());
    $_md5Values = array();

    //protected base image
    $baseImage = $_product->getImage();
    if ($baseImage != 'no_selection') {
        $filePath = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . '/catalog/product' . $baseImage;
        if (file_exists($filePath)) {
            $_md5Values[] = md5(file_get_contents($filePath));
        }
    }

    $i++;
    echo "processing product $i of $total " . PHP_EOL;

    // Loop through product images
    $_images = $_product->getMediaGalleryImages();
    if ($_images) {
        foreach ($_images as $_image) {
            //protected base image
            if ($_image->getFile() == $baseImage) {
                continue;
            }

            $filePath = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . '/catalog/product' . $_image->getFile();
            if (!file_exists($filePath)) {
                continue;
            }
            $md5 = md5(file_get_contents($filePath));
            if (in_array($md5, $_md5Values)) {
                $mediaApi->remove($_product->getId(), $_image->getFile());
                echo 'removed duplicate image from ' . $_product->getSku() . PHP_EOL;
                $count++;
            } else {
                $_md5Values[] = $md5;
            }
        }
    }
}

Will this script remove duplicate images physically?

Hi! Image files will not be deleted from filesystem, because they may be in use in other products.
