Why do I have multiple copies of same card?

[sickboy]

As you can see in above image, I have almost all the cards with duplicate card. The only difference between the two is Card Type.

I guess I messed up some settings and got these duplicates. I tried to find duplicates using InBuilt finder but it said there are none

Now, I want to delete all the duplicates because It is really hard to know how many cards are actually there.

Thank you

Make sure you understand the difference between cards and notes and what a note type is.

You have added these notes using a note type that instructs Anki to make 2 cards. Often this is done to have “forward” and “reverse” versions of the cards. It sounds like you don’t want that, so you have a few options about how to fix it. To see what solution makes the most sense –

• What is the name of the note type these notes are using? To find that, you can add the “Note Type” column to the Browse table, or click “Cards…” above the note editor and look at the name in the title bar (Card Types for …).
• Do you want to delete these 2nd cards permanently? (I suspect you do, given the note I see in your screenshot, but it is worth it to check!)
• Do you want to make this change for every note that uses this note type – even notes/cards in other decks? Or are there other notes using this note type that you want to continue having 2 cards?

Note type is basic. Yes I want the 2nd cards deleted permanently. And also yes, I want this to happen to all cards in all decks/sub-decks

That will be easy then –

• Open “Cards…” at the top of the note editor
• Use the top dropdown to see what the differences are between the front/back templates for these 2 card types and select the one that you want to remove
• At the top of the screen click Options > Remove Card Type
