  1. Duplicate files after syncing in Onedrive


    Is there any way to get rid of the duplicate file after syncing, other than wasting tons of time making sure your not deleting what you just saved and synced?

    OneDrive syncing duplicate folders

    OneDrive keeps notifying "duplicate files" but is not saving both folders, cannot even find duplicates and will not stop syncing.

    We have this connected to a network with multiple PCs. How to fix the synching issue and duplicate files?

  3. onedrive duplicating my folders...

    Hi.

    Again, onedrive is going crazy and is duplicating my main folder, full of subfolders. It's locking me out of all my files. I have windows 10, Office 365 home. I paused synch at the moment before I have 1000 copy of my folder, which I can't open anyway!
    Please don't ask me any question that will further delay the repair. Simply give me a step by step solution and then improve onedrive so this won't happen again to so many of us. I suggest you also add "onedrive" in the list of "Windows Topics" below since
    thousands of users have issues with it.

    Thanks

    Michel

    Systemn Image Restore - "Duplicate" Files

    Hi Bob,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing in restoring the backed up files on your device as duplicates are created. Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    This appears that these files are from OneDrive folder. The duplicates are created because of sync related issues. The blue sync that you see is that the file is still syncing to the OneDrive cloud.

    So first, you can refer to the below article for sync related issues and check if it helps.

    Fix OneDrive sync problems
    with Windows 10, Windows 7, or Windows Vista


    I suggest you to clear Upload Center cache from OneDrive and check if it helps.

    Follow these steps:

    • Go to Start menu and open Upload Center for Office.
    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on 'Delete Cached Files for Office.'
    • Click OK and check if the status.

    Hope it helps. Get back to us for further assistance on this issue. We will be happy to help you.
