Thanks for this suggestion. I've run this as a script in the folder where all the .json files are, and it has been running for 4 hours so far. It appears to access every file in the folder, but not make any changes (I can follow it using FileZilla ftp). It seems it is simply looping through every .json file in the folder over and over again, without changing anything. Is there something I need to change in the script you provided? I know almost nothing about shell scripting. If it matters, this is running on a remote server.

UPDATE: I tested the script on a much smaller folder and it works! For my folder (15GB, 10k files) I will probably simply have to leave it running for a day or two!

@Zwentibold yeah that's a lot of processing, there may be ways to improve this script for performance.
