Have you ever experienced the same situation? Don't worry, this article will show you 3 ways to find and delete duplicate photos and videos from iCloud manually and automatically.
1. Select and Delete duplicates photos from iCloud website

If your duplicate photos and videos have the same creation date and time, same filename, they’re series in iCloud Photos, you can manually select them in iCloud Photos, and then click the Remove button at the top to delete the selected duplicates.

You need to crate an album in the Photos application, and add the selected photos to the created album. Then open the album in the Photos application, select photos in the album, click the View menu item -> Sort, you will see three sorting options: “Keep Sorted By Title”, “Keep Sorted By Oldest First”, “Keep Sorted By Newest First”. And then manually select duplicates photos and videos, and then right click to choose the menu option “Remove photos from Album”, to delete the selected duplicates.
