How can I stop Address Books duplicating in iCloud?

The attached screenshot from my MacBook Pro best describes my issue. You will notice that there are multiple address books. Does anybody know what's happening here?

Does macOS retain data of a signed out iCloud account removing all data and signing into another one? I got a new work MacBook about six months ago. When I first set it up, I signed into my personal iCloud account. Then I signed out of that account and made sure to check every single box of all the data that it said it would remove from the Mac after signing out. Contacts, reminders, notes, Safari browsing data, passwords, Keychain data, etc. Then I signed into the iCloud account for my company and work. Fast forward to today, after rebooting my MacBook, and upon startup while I was using Charles Proxy to inspect other web data, I saw a bunch of HTTP requests to websites that are all in the Passwords app for my personal iCloud account. I did not have SSL proxying for every single website (I only really have it turned on for my company's websites) so I could not see the response payloads for each request. I could only see the URL being requested for more than 50 different sites that would 100% implicate a unique fingerprint from the Passwords app of my personal iCloud account. There's no way in the world that my work account would have any of those websites. I tried rebooting the MacBook again multiple times to see if those requests would be repeated on startup and also so I could inspect the response payloads with SSL proxying turned on to see why exactly are these requests being fired in the first place, but it never happened again and I could not reproduce that issue. On top of that, when I open up Spotlight and search for contacts from my personal iCloud account, it still shows results for those contacts. When I click on them, no information shows up. Spotlight just shows a blank UI after tapping on it. Question 1: despite macOS telling users that it will remove all contacts, notes, reminders, Safari, browsing data, etc. when you check all the boxes during sign out of an iCloud account, macOS still retains much of that data deep in the operating system? Question 2: if macOS is retaining all my passwords from the Passwords app, even after signing out of my personal iCloud account on this MacBook, why does it need to make a bunch of HTTP requests to these sites at all? Knowing the answer to these two questions would let me pinpoint if this leak in privacy is due to the internal working mechanisms of macOS or not. If not, then I have to start considering if I have a keylogger or malware or something installed on my MacBook without my knowledge.

iCloud sync issues Hello everyone! I recently turned on desktop and document syncing on icloud on both of my macs. After waiting for everything to sync, this attention symbol appears to me near the iCloud entry in the Finder. How can I solve it?

Cleaning out excess Apple Mail mailboxes Apparently Apple has ignored pleas to do something about this, so it's time to restart the conversation. I'm running Monterey 12.6 on a MacBook Air. When I upgraded (after resisting as long as I could) to Monterey, Apple Mail became almost unusable. I have my own filing system under On My Mac, but Apple insists on adding another dozen or more unnecessary mail boxes, including many that are indistinguishable (at least by name): Two Sent mailboxes, two Junk mailboxes, two Trash mailboxes, an Archive mailbox, plus duplicates from my IMAP ISP and other accounts that are available below in the unlikely event that I should want them. How can I get rid of these unnecessary entries in the side panel?

it is interesting I see "All Contacts" listed under my iCloud...

note: nothing on my Mac says "Address Book"

If they are duplicates have you deleted them(?) do they repopulate or what ...?

use your Delete key

You can try disabling Contacts in your iCloud and re-enabling

>System Setting>AppleID>iCloud>Contacts

no resolve sign out of AppleID and back in again:

If you sign out of your Apple ID settings on Mac

The current stable release of Sonoma including bug fixes, security updates is macOS 14.5
