Duplicate photos in the photos directory. How to remove them?
You are missing the point Jay.
The photos folder cannot be downloaded to a device.
These are thousands of duplicates in the photos folder on the web directory..
Why cannot a script be written to search for duplicate photos and files from the access on the web and delete them from there.....

Hi Peter F.58, thanks for posting here!
I'm not entirely sure we're on the same page here. Let's jump right into this.
I understand that you're facing a problem with some duplicated files. However, you mentioned my colleague Jay, and I couldn't find a relevant, previous conversation from your current Community profile.
If you could give me some context, I'd love for us to investigate further.
Keep me posted!

Is there a solution to delete thousands of duplicate photos in you photos directory on the web... not on your device - I found the post of Jay where can I send a screen shot of it
- I just searched for a solution to delete duplicates and came across his reply as a support

We don't have a specific feature that would automatically detect any duplicates and remove them unless you do it manually Peter F.58.
Your feedback regarding this has been very valuable and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard.
I will pass on your comments to the relevant departments so that we can further improve our product!
