How to safely consolidate duplicate folders on Google Drive and then delete the emptied ones, syncing the kept ones?
The Next CEO of Stack OverflowPicasa “sync to web” folders losing sync when they are movedGoogle Drive desktop client not updating existing files from other usersGoogle Drive files and folders duplicationSync google drive - without a client installationHow to list remote files and folders in the Google Drive or Dropbox folder, without having the files stored locally?Avoid syncing of Microsoft Office temporary files in Google Backup and Sync for pcHow to merge duplicate folders with “name (1)”, “name (1) (1)” etc. structureMy Drive (Google) is not synced to my new computerGoogle backup and sync won't sync all files from cloud to local folderHow to stop backup and sync syncing folder in My Drive
I was reinstalling my system, and I carelessly copied folders to the folder I use for Google Drive and started syncing at the same time.
That resulted in my files being split between duplicate folder, such as folder becomes folder and folder (2). I thought I would just consolidate the folders by copying the contents of folder (2) into folder and then deleting folder (2). However the result of this is that that neither folder nor folder (2) is present in my online Google Drive, even though folder is present in my Google Drive folder on one computer. Further, if I go to selective sync folder does not even appear as available to sync. If I go to the trash of my Google Drive online, I see folder.
If I undelete folder, it creates folder (2) again and I am back to where I started.
So, how do I consolidate duplicate folders such that the newly consolidated folders will be synced?
I am using Insync as my client for Drive.
Any ideas for getting out of this jam?
