This is the second time it happens how but certain cards get duplicated multiple times. Suspending or deleting one of the copies deletes all the copies including original. In addition, suspending them only seems to duplicate more the next time I log in. One thing I have noticed is that this happens after I export my deck to share to my friends. Only the exported decks have this duplication occur to them. Please how can I stop this and fix it!

Never mind, realized probably not the smartest to download from ankiweb just for it to duplicate again. Sincerely than you so much for the help.
