Hi,
I did try and perform a search for this topic before I posted it, there are similar topic's but I thought I'd post this anyway. It seems as though for some reason if I decide to install a different build/branch of the browser, my favorites get double copied into the newly installed browser. As I remember, other user's have also mentioned that issue..possibly in a somewhat different way. Also, what makes it even more frustrating is the method I have to use to clean up the duplicate entries I don't want, there doesn't seem to be a mass deletion method to do so..at least for me, I have to delete one entry at a time. Has anyone else found this to be true ?
Thanks,
David

Hi@HotCakeX ,
On my desktop I'm still running the development version of edge, on my laptop I also had the same version but then I decided to try out the stable version. That's when I noticed the duplication of the bookmark's, by the way the extension that you offered is great..thanks so much !

@Davy49 Thanks for letting us know. What folders are the duplicates in? (There may be up to one copy of each favorite in the ~3 folders, but they shouldn't be duplicated in the same folder.) And have you seen this behavior in Canary or Dev? And if you're still encountering this, can you please submit feedback through the browser?
And as a heads-up, you can multi-select favorites in "about:favorites" to delete multiples at once.

Solution@Davy49 Yes, @Gunnar Rastén is absolutely correct! Doing Ctrl+Shift+O might be the easiest way to manage your Favorites if navigating through icons is less accessible.
Here's a screenshot of multiple options selected in the Favorites manager. (You can then click the blue "delete" button, or the "X" next to an individual entry.)

@Davy49 I just tried it on my end, and selecting through the "press shift and click" method is working. Additionally, you can also open up the Favorites manager and press CTRL + A, which will select all the favorites.
If that still doesn't work for you, can you please submit feedback through the browser so our devs can take a look?
