5) Fifth is after clicking through all the columns and restarting. So clicking through all columns seems to have some "cleaning" effect. The arrow is kept on the last column that I had clicked, but th

Thanks @hsiangyu_wong . That's a really useful add-on. I have recently been cleaning up author formatting problems (separating full names where they were under lastname, removing trailing comma added

Second, the disk-cleaning tool was MacKeeper, but in all fairness, the fault was entirely mine. I deleted the "cleaned-up" files without looking at them first. Very stupid, I know.

If you don't mind, what disk-cleaning tool did you use? I'm a bit curious how people end up doing this — it seems like somewhat of a failure of the tool to suggest wiping out arbitrary unknown files.

I am running Mac OS Monterey 12.4 and accidentally deleted my Zotero library using a disk cleaning tool. Unfortunately, I had not backed up the data directory and I was not using Zotero syncing.

I am having this same challenge of repeating references. Even after cleaning the library of duplicates and updated, it still coming up with repeating references. I now have two sets of in-citations, a

We are subscribing to Zotero Labs. We wanted to make some cleaning up in the storage. But before deleting some user's emails from the email list of the storage, we want to make sure that those users

The files aren syncing because of quota. Did you forced the sync after cleaning the bin? :)

If the false duplcates issue can be solved, that would save me a lot of time of manually cleaning up the library, or from suffering of have different versions of the same paper. I believe that this fu

For my case, I occasionally do literature reviews on different topics, and hence, I need to import the relevant papers at different times. Many times, some duplicates will be imported. If the false d

While cleaning up, I accidentally deleted my Duplicates Collection in my left pane. Unsure how to get it back... (Not in trash and cannot undo)

There's no way for this to occur on the same computer where you added the files unless you or something else (e.g., a disk-cleaning tool) deleted files outside of Zotero, and even if you did that, if

But there should be a facility. When we are talking about DATA Science, "BIG DATA" & ANALYTICS, there is no tool available for bibliometric analysis (not even in R) for local data. When we are analyz

specifically the EP shouldn't be there and should indeed indicate a page range. It's a bit of a borderline case, so we can look at cleaning this up on import. cc @AbeJellinek

I use Zotero primarily for storage of genealogical data. Many of my items, files and notes are accompanied by information copied from Ancestry or FamilySearch web pages, many of which include tables a

4. I opened Zotero a month or so ago and all my data was there. I opened it today, a pop up showed up saying it was updating the version, now all my library is gone. I do not use any auto-cleaning sof

If you're working on a Mac, I'd recommend an excellent piece of software called TextSoap (https://textsoap.com/mac/) which can be used for all kinds of applications (not Zotero-specific). It comes wit

For example, those who do not use Zotero, and for cleaning a lot of tags. The last is what I am doing right now. I know there is a difference between automatic (orange) and manual (blue) tags, thus/bu
