Amazon Photos is a fantastic tool for storing and organizing photos. Over time, duplicate photos may accumulate, cluttering your library and making it difficult to locate specific images.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss four strategies to identify, delete, and eliminate duplicates in Amazon Photos, helping you maintain an organized and clutter-free library.
Methods to Find, Delete and Remove Amazon Photos Duplicates
Check out the different ways on how you can delete duplicates on your Amazon Photos. Try each step one at a time and see which method works for you.
Method 1: Use Amazon Photos’ Built-In Duplicate Detection Feature
Amazon Photos has a built-in feature that automatically detects and groups duplicate photos. To use this feature, follow these steps:
- Open Amazon Photos on your device or go to the Amazon Photos website.
- Click on the “Duplicates” tab in the left sidebar.
- Review the grouped duplicates and select the ones you want to delete.
- Click on the “Delete” button to remove the duplicates.
This technique is convenient and straightforward, particularly for a few duplicates. However, a more robust solution may be needed for numerous duplicates.
Method 2: Use a Third-Party Tool to Delete Amazon Photos Duplicates
Using a third-party tool like Duplicate Files Fixer for finding and removing duplicates in Amazon Photos is suitable for those with numerous duplicates or wanting greater control over the process. Here’s how:
- Download and install Duplicate Files Fixer on your device.
- Open the tool and sign in to your Amazon Photos account.
- Follow the instructions to scan your account and remove duplicates.
This method offers increased control and customizable settings but may require payment and careful selection of duplicates for removal. This method offers increased control and customizable settings but may require payment and careful selection of duplicates for removal.
Method 3: Manually Review and Delete Duplicates on Amazon Photos
To individually review and delete duplicates, use the Amazon Photos app or website. Here’s how:
- Open Amazon Photos on your device or go to the Amazon Photos website.
- Find the duplicate photos you want to delete.
- Select the duplicates and click the “Delete” button.
- Alternatively, move the duplicates to the “Trash” folder to review them later before permanently deleting them.
While this method grants full control over duplicate removal, it can be time-consuming if there are many duplicates.
Method 4: Use the Amazon Drive Desktop App
If you have the Amazon Drive desktop app, use it to scan and eliminate duplicates from your Amazon Photos library. Here’s how:
- Open the Amazon Drive desktop app on your computer.
- Select the Amazon Photos folder.
- Click the “Scan” button to find duplicates.
- Select and delete the duplicates you want to remove.
This approach is convenient for working on a computer rather than a mobile device and when dealing with numerous duplicates.
Remember, deleting duplicates in Amazon Photos will permanently remove them from your library. Retain a photo if unsure about its duplicate status.
Amazon Prime members have unlimited photo storage and 5GB storage for videos, documents, and other files. If you need more storage, you can upgrade your storage plan in the Amazon Photos settings. Deleted photos or videos can be restored from the Trash folder within 30 days.
Removing duplicates from your Amazon Photos library is essential for keeping your photos organized and easy to find. Choose from various options, including built-in duplicate detection, third-party tools, or manual review and deletion to manage duplicates effectively.
Experiment with different methods to find the best one for your photo collection.
