What issue do you have?

I don't know how it happened, and can't reproduce it. Seems to have appeared right after my iPhone client experienced some difficulty synching. Somehow all the notes in one notebook were duplicated:
Kerfunten jig
Kerfunten jig (1)
Kesh jig
Kesh jig (1) ........ etc.
This seems to be confined to the notes in a single notebook.
Can anyone shed some light on how this could have happened? More importantly, is there any simple expedient for deleting all these duplicates?

I don't know how it could have happened, but to delete them, I would try sorting by creation time or last updated, which should put all the duplicates together. Then you can use shift and click the first and last of the duplicates to select them all and delete them.

Hey, Hey. Thanks.

I wound up searching on "(1)" in the title to get them all together. Sure wish I knew why it happened in the first place.
