Has anyone come across a reliable tool for finding and removing duplicate files in OneDrive? My storage has been filling up way faster than expected, and after digging through a few folders, I realized a huge chunk of it is just duplicate photos, documents, and videos that got synced multiple times from different devices. I tried manually sorting through everything first, but with thousands of files spread across nested folders, it quickly became impossible to keep track of what was actually duplicated versus just similarly named.
I looked into a few built-in options within OneDrive itself, but there doesn't seem to be any native feature that scans for duplicates automatically, which surprised me considering how common this problem seems to be. I also tried a couple of free desktop duplicate finder tools, but most of them either didn't support cloud storage properly or ended up flagging files incorrectly, which made me nervous about accidentally deleting something important. At this point, I really just want something that can scan my entire OneDrive account, accurately detect true duplicates, and let me review everything before deleting anything permanently.
While researching this, I came across a blog that specifically talks about tools designed for this exact purpose. If anyone else is dealing with the same clutter problem, it might be worth checking out this guide on a OneDrive duplicate remover—it explains how these tools work, what features to look for, and how to safely clean up duplicate files without risking data loss.
