Hi Cody1119, I'd be happy to help!
You'd need to manually go through your account, and delete any duplicates from there.
If you have any questions, let me know!

Hey Me-ma, thanks for joining our Community!
By gallery, are you referring to your Dropbox Camera Uploads folder or perhaps generally a folder with photos in your Dropbox account?
If so, there isn't really a way to automatically delete duplicate photos or in bulk; you'd need to manually search for the duplicates to delete them.
Let me know if you have more questions.
- Me-ma2 years agoExplorer | Level 4Yes I meant redundant pics in the photos folder haha.
But thank you for your response. I was so afraid of losing photos I have multiple copies of some and I accidently PERMANANTLY deleted a bunch of others from my cell phone sadly. I am very electronically challenged lol. - Jay2 years ago

Hi Me-ma, are you able to find the photos you deleted from your phone on the Dropbox site or mobile app?
