I might have a clue, I have 4 machines that all use Joplin with same Dropbox account, maybe it happens when Joplin try to import the new “Welcome!” note book folder. Deleting this notebook fixed the problem removed all the duplicated tags.

I updated the Android app and same problem happens. I’m not sure how to fix, there is no “Welcome!” notebook anymore.

Confirmed that following @favadi's steps reproduces the same duplication behavior with a **fresh** install of Joplin on Mint Linux 19.1. I am using a personal WebDav on a bluehost server.

These tag duplications appear after syncing with my Joplin Android or Windows clients.

Deleting the Welcome! notebook resolves the problem locally and deletes the Welcome! notebook across my machines, but creates duplicate tabs any new notebook added on my one of my clients.

I've created a Python program to resolve duplicated tags, it ran smoothly on my notebook with 3400 notes and 1200 tags.
