    OneDrive Duplication of files


    Hi,


    Im'using Onedrive for years without mistake before.

    Since some days, I encounter a big problem with OneDrive.

    I manage a lot of pictures using the keywords.

    Since few days, each files with modified keyword are duplicated into the Onedrive folder into my computer.

    If I delete this duplicated files, OneDrive made a new copy !

    OneDrive give the message that it cannot merge the file and duplicate it.


    I made an re-init of Onedrive without success.

    Could I obtain help from the Community here ?

    Please help me.


    Thanks for alll response.

    Regards

    :)

    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

    Finding duplicate files

    Hey hey,

    During the years the backups have just accumulated in random places, essentially, and I would like to clean up. Is there a program that can search for duplicate files? And by that I mean identical files. I tried dupeGuru, but that somehow found ... all files to be identical I guess? Like how a bunch of jpg's with different names, sizes and locations being marked 100% identical, or how a bunch of xls-files with completely different everything also were 100% matches with each other. I don't need any fancy functions, just a list of the files that share the name and filesize and created/last write dates.
