This problem has dodged me since May - and I can't say support has been supportive.
I've tried everything to solve the issue. Including reformatting my entire drive and only installing Mendeley!!!!
I've even got rid off all my groups.
I've unchecked all the watch folders and order folders.
Had I not been trapped with a such a big database - compounded by the excessive duplicates seemingly automatically created, I would have long defected to Zotero.
I've gone down the cmd pathway of changing my sqlite to old and etc - several times. And still now I am stuck with this persistent problem of a database bloated by duplicates I cant get rid off.
I've tried the to reduce the duplicates by also Sqlite Manager via Firefox, only to have Mendeley re-download all the original duplicates. I have short of 20,000 records, but it is constantly bloated up to 50,000.
I've tried everything, including resetting several times, installing different Mendeley versions,...
In the meantime, it doesn't look like support cares one bit about how much time and frustration I have endured to try to solve this idiotic problem. My whole holiday has gone into trying to solve this problem. And still the problem persists...
Can somebody please point me to a real solution, unlike what I have / have not received from support?
