duplicate songs on iPhone

I've sent this in before and can't find any answer. When I synced my iTunes Library to my iPhone 7, a significant number of songs duplicated onto the songs file on my iPhone. They ARE NOT duplicated in the iTunes library on my laptop. Why is this, and how do I fix this as I do not know how to delete from my Music app on the phone, as it appears to be taking up space on the phone?

Duplicate Songs on My iPhone 13 Pro At some point recently, all of the songs in my iTunes library have been duplicated and appear twice. I have roughly 36 gigs of music on my iMac (where I sync my phone) but roughly twice that on my phone (76 gigs). Any song list, search list I select has two of everything: I back up to iCloud. I've tried re-syncing, but nothing changes. What should I do to safely remove the duplicates.

Can't sync my iphone music to my Win10 iTunes library When I select Songs on my iPhone 13 Pro, I get a song list with many duplicate songs that play twice. So I opened my Win10 iTunes, chose "file\library\shyow duplicate items". A list of duplicates appeared, and I deleted the duplicates from the library, leaving just one copy of each song. Next, I synced my iPhone to my iTunes library. The sync 'completed' almost instantly. But my iPhone Music's songs list still has all those duplicates still on it, and each duplicated song still plays twice. It seems as though the iPhone is not really syncing. What am I missing? I thought the master song list was kept by the Win10 iTunes music library, and I thought that 'sync' means 'sync my iphone to my Win10 iTunes music library". If so, why doesn't my iPhone sync to that library...and how do I get rid of these duplicates on my iPhone? There are far too many to go through thousands of songs on the iPhone, clicking one by one on each duplicate-listed song's "..." symbol, and choosing 'delete'.
