Duplicates in Dropbox albums

I recently organized my pictures into albums. So now when I scroll I still have the same pictures according to date. So I have double of most of my pictures. Can I delete the ones I scroll down on or will it delete my albums too?

    How are the images displayed on your account on the Dropbox site? Do they appear in folders on the files page?

     

    The album feature is no longer supported on Dropbox, so this would mean that you can't access them any more, which is why I'm checking where your images are stored.

    Hi Meladono, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Are you referring to folders in which you have images, or the old Dropbox album feature?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

    Not sure. There's just pictures in no such order. Since I created albums, I was going to delete the ones I put in albums. Now I have 2 of a lot of them taking up space. But I don't want to delete the random pictures if it deletes my albums.

    Pictures are in " Photo". When you click on that you have photos or albums.

    Hey Meladono, sorry to jump in here, but would you mind sending us a screenshot of how "Photo" appears for you?
