[QUOTE="Stevoster, post: 1892526, member: 408974"] Hi Jake, first off thank you! Blown away by this help, genuinely. I did a bit of searching for duplicates and can see loads, but hard to find a clear reason for them or know which one to remove, like you say above. Total PITA. I think I'm going to go down the nuclear option and wipe the drives then do a full system restore from time machine again. I feel like I must ahve messed up by not clearing the drives when I did the second attempt there and somehow ended up with two sets of the same data. When I wiped it before the first time I restored from TM I was on the phone with the Apple folks (I remember that horrible moment of hitting delete or clear) - if you could give me a steer on how to wipe the drives and prep for the TM restore that would be amazing! I'm back on Mojave by the way, does the OS reinstall happen as part of the TM restore? Thanks, Stephen. [/QUOTE]
