Browsers and Mail Remove Duplicate Favorites in Microsoft Edge in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to quickly remove all duplicate favorites in Microsoft Edge at once for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

You can keep track of the websites you visit frequently by adding them as favorites in Microsoft Edge. You can organize these favorites into folders how you like.

Instead of manually searching and removing any duplicate favorites in Microsoft Edge, you can use the Remove duplicate favorites setting to remove them all at once.

When you choose to Remove duplicate favorites, any duplicate favorites with the same name and URL found inside the same folder will be automatically removed leaving only one favorite. If favorites with the same name and URL are not in the same folder, they will not be removed. Any duplicate folders with the same name found inside the same folder or group will be merged.

If you are signed in to Microsoft Edge with your Microsoft account and turned on sync favorites, then any removed duplicate favorites will automatically sync and get removed on all devices you sign in to Microsoft Edge with the same Microsoft account with sync favorites turned on.
