Delete Duplicates in the system

Hello, I want to ask: if I delete some duplicates outside the system, will it affect the system? What will happen? Is it something that I shouldn’t do? Is there any alternative to this? Also, what is the preferred method for finding duplicates, empty notes, and extensive notes, or sorting by size? What is the standard procedure?

There are many different ways how to delete duplicates.

  • if there are just a few of them, simply delete them manually
  • somewhat more involved, but also more flexible, is using REST API
  • you can also export all your notes into JEX archive and extract it. Then find out files containing duplicate/empty notes and delete them. When you’re done, pack what remains into TAR archive and import it into empty profile. Keep in mind, that there may be multiple files related to single note, because resources and tags are stored aren’t embedded in note files.
