OneDrive Known Folder Move creating duplicate files
We started moving files from a personal folders on a shared network to OneDrive using a 3rd party tool. We had Documents, Desktop and Pictures mapped to the shared network and want to remap to OneD...
Yes I have the same problem during testing to prepare to go from Folder Redirection to KFM. I used the process at the bottom of this page:

Even though I left the files on the file server I think offline files is leaving an offline copy on the client that then gets copied to OneDrive and creates duplicates. I might need a policy to disable offline files or possibly just reset offline files and then reboot.
HI,
OneDrive PC Folder Backup is similar to Windows Offline Files or folder redirection. Meaning they don't work well together so you need to turn off Offline files before using OneDrive PC Folder Backup.
And you could delete the copy files something like this(when you run this script as admin/system or as user)
$DesktopPath = "C:\Users\*\*\desktop\*.*"
Get-ChildItem -Path $DesktopPath -Filter *.lnk | Where {$_.Name -like "Microsoft Edge - copy*.lnk" -or $_.Name -like "Microsoft Teams - copy*.lnk" -or $_.Name -like "Microsoft Edge Beta - copy*.lnk"} | Remove-Item -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
