"All My Files" saving multiple duplicates of files
Hey guys,
I recently upgraded to MacOS Sierra and after enabling "Upload Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive", I realized that I didn't have enough space to get them completely uploaded.
After getting frustrated watching them endlessly trying to upload with no avail, I disabled this feature and in return, my "All My Files" folder in Finder began duplicating the files that it tried to upload.
Now I have anywhere from 3-6 duplicate files in my All My Files folder, all of which are the have the same size, location, and name (Except the duplicates have a timestamp as well).
However, the files only appear once on my Desktop instead of also having the duplicates.
In summary, the files I tried to upload to the Cloud, which I then cancelled, have duplicates in the All My Files folder but not on the Desktop/Documents folders.
Is there anyway to delete these duplicates?
When I tried deleting one of the duplicates, all of those said files moved to Trash but only appeared as the original file. When, I then moved them back out of the trash, they reappeared with all the duplicate files back into the All My Files page.
The files don't add any more space to the drive, so while it doesn't harm my computer's storage, it is still very annoying.
Let me know if you guys have this same problem.
Thanks!
