How Can I Remove Duplicate Files from OneDrive?

You can easily remove duplicate Files from OneDrive manually, by signing into your account and sorting the files by name, size, or date. Afterward, look through your folders for duplicates, and delete them one at a time. Doing it this way will help ensure that you are actually making those decisions yourself, and you also eliminate the probability of deleting the wrong thing.

However, through manual deletion, OneDrive offers limited service in finding duplicates, and the process is tedious and gives you room for errors, especially if you have thousands of files. From a manual method, there is a process for continuous action and increased risk of accidentally deleting files, and omitting any advanced detection for duplicates.
