How to clean up the duplicate files when I merge duplicate entries?

easoncc8 · June 21, 2022

when I merge items, only the entries were organized. But all the attched files were still remained in the new entry. I have to delete them one by one. I have found so many issues about this confusion. I wonder if there is any add-on could solve this problem.

Can somebody answer me？ ^^

@easoncc8 , have you already tried the Zotero Storage Scanner plugin (https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-storage-scanner)?

Thanks a lot! I will try it!

Note that current versions of Zotero will merge duplicate copies of PDFs as well when merging. It won't merge attachments that differ, though.

That sounds great！

That's great, @dstillman !
Do you know if the other Zotero Storage Scanner feature, that identifies broken attachment links, is still necessary?
