Q: Pages document in word format on the iTunes are duplicated.  How can I delet the extra copies?

I synchronize with all my Pages documents in Word format.  The problem is each document on my iPhone is shown as being duplicated under the iTunes, Pages Documents section, even old deleted documents.  Tried to delete the extra copies directly from the iTunes but couldn't.  Is there a way to delete those extra documents shown in iTune and couldn't trace them in my phone?  Only when I use to synchronize using PDF format where a duplication is not created.  But I would rather have the documents in Word format on my PC.  

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2, I am using an HP laptop.

    Hi Gezirazlk,

    If you are creating Pages documents on your iPhone, and want a PDF format on your PC without it being duplicated on your iPhone, one possible workflow/solution would be to download iCloud for Windows to your PC and use iCloud Drive to store your PDF files for your PC.

    Take a look at the resource below to see how this works:

    Set up iCloud Drive on all of your devices

     

    Take care,

    Greetings judysings

     

    My apologies for the late reply,  honestly and this may seem strange but I am trying to avoid storing these data on the cloud even though it is locked with passwords but I would rather not.  What is strange is that if I am transferring those files from my Phone through the iTunes  to save them on to my PC in PDF format no duplication takes place.  Now whenever I synchronize the old Word Format files do still  appear among the PDF ones and there is no way to access them on my device or through the iTunes while the Phone is connected to delete them, very weird.  Once I disconnect they disappear.  Anyway thank you again.

     

    Regards
