Re: How to delete duplicates please?

Please can someone give me instructions on how to delete duplicates

Megan

Hi @Crazyplantlady666, let's jump into this!

In order to delete some duplicated files, you'd need to locate them and remove them manually.

At the moment, there's no automated way to achieve that.

If you need anything else, let me know!

This looks like it would be a popular feature, will we see this implemented soon?

We wouldn't know until it was implemented. Dropbox rarely offers roadmaps of planned features.

That said, if you're syncing all of your files to your computer, there are plenty of apps that you can run against your local Dropbox folder to find duplicates. Just Google for "duplicate file finder" and you'll find a bunch.
