Let me know if you guys have this same problem. 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. When, I then moved them back out of the trash, they reappeared with all the duplicate files back into the All My Files page. When I tried deleting one of the duplicates, all of those said files moved to Trash but only appeared as the original file. Is there anyway to delete these duplicates?

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). Relaunching finder from the force quit applications window (Option+Command+Escape) fixes it for me.

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.Īfter 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. To share a folder on your Mac with the Windows computer to enable file transfer between the systems, click on the Folders tab, then click the checkbox to Redirect folders, and then use the plus button to add folders for redirection.
