If I could delete them all and start from scratch I would (can only delete 500 at a time). I re-selected my pictures folder and GP went ahead and duplicated all 25,000 pictures. I recently organized all the data that my father had stored on multiple computers and multiple external hard drives into one safe backed up location, but found that there were duplicates of pretty much everything. It’s insane that Google Photos can’t delete duplicates. Now I thought about simply deleting everything in Google Photos and letting the upload go one more time to clean it out, but I also have photos coming in from other sources (my phones), so deleting everything would remove these pictures as well and that's simply not an option. Looking for some utilities to find duplicate files and photos on your computer quickly and easily. Hopefully in the future they will have other sorting options to quickly review duplicate photos.

Since doing this I added a few new folders of photos into the photo backup and realized yesterday that I hadn't installed the photo uploading application on my main PC yet so the new photos weren't being uploaded. The server recently died on me and I decided to just put the hard drive I use to back up my photos into my main PC. My library was previously stored on a network server (windows) and I had the photo uploading application configured on that machine. I have my entire photo library uploaded to Google Photos (original size).
