Reading: Removing Duplicate cards & notes

It looks like you’ve created a topic titled “Removing Duplicate cards & notes”, but the post only contains the boilerplate description of the Support category and doesn’t yet describe your actual issue.

To help you resolve duplicate cards/notes with AnkiHub, could you please provide:

1. What exactly is duplicated?

   • Are the duplicates:
     • Only in your local Anki collection, or
     • Also showing as duplicates in the AnkiHub deck (e.g., same note appears twice in the subscribed deck)?

2. How the duplicates appeared

   • Did you:
     • Subscribe to an AnkiHub deck twice?
     • Import the same .apkg multiple times?
     • Merge a personal deck with an AnkiHub deck?

3. What you want to keep

   • For each duplicate, do you want to:
     • Keep the AnkiHub version and delete your local one?
     • Keep your edited/personal version and get rid of the AnkiHub-linked one?
     • Merge changes somehow?

4. Screenshots if possible

   • A screenshot of:
     • The note browser with a search that shows duplicates (e.g., same “Front” text twice).
     • The note type and fields (top of the Browser and the Fields list).

Once you share that, I can give you step‑by‑step instructions tailored to your situation (including safe ways to delete or de‑duplicate without breaking your AnkiHub subscription).

In the meantime, some general guidelines:

• If duplicates are only local and only one copy is linked to AnkiHub:
  • You can usually delete the unlinked duplicates in the Anki Browser without affecting AnkiHub.
• If both copies are AnkiHub-linked:
  • Explain how that happened and show an example; the de-duplication approach is more delicate and I’ll walk you through a safer method.

Reply with those details and I’ll help you sort it out.
