    Duplicate Games Talking Up Storage

    Hello PianoMaple88359,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Based on what you have posted, it seems that you are getting duplicates from games you downloaded. There are many reasons why you are getting duplicates, such as system file corruption or malware. Let us further investigate this.

    • When did the issue started?
    • Have you made any software or hardware changes recently?
    • Can you share a screenshot of the duplicated items?
    • Are you installing on an External Storage?
    • Are you using a console or PC?

    Once we receive your answers to the questions above, we may suggest additional troubleshooting measures.

    Yeah, you're right in that respect about Replication... But, i'm talking about DVD Duplicators, that burn & copy-protect the DVD or game in the same process & nearly all developers use a DVD Burner Duplication System in array, that take up less space & cost
    less to run..

    Go into your saved game storage in the playstation system menu. Manually delete the worlds from there. When they changed versions it made a duplicate of all the old worlds and quickly filled the storage of the game.

    Console re-downloading already installed games

    Hello Magazine,

    Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. I have split your post into its own thread in order to help you out directly. Whenever a game is moved from the internal storage to an external storage, a second progress bar shows up. This is not the game installing
    again. This progress bar is showing how far along the game is from moving between storages.

    Just to be sure, you can access your Storage settings. Access your internal and your external storage to look for any duplicates.

    Hope this helps!
