Remove original files once correct file has been found from metadata
I have just moved a bunch of files over to Zotero. Many of the documents (mostly research papers) had incorrect/ shortened naming. When the metadata was retrieved a new copy was created with the correct title and all the associated information while the original file remained in the library as a sub-file. There are too many files to go through one by one so I'm hoping there's a way to remove all of the original files from the library, if anyone knows a way to do this it would be greatly appreciated
What you describe sounds like either you're not understanding where Zotero stores files you move to it or you have some customized set up.
