VGrive created duplicated #127

Describe the bug vGrive apparently thinks files are not in the Cloud and creates exact duplicates there

Screenshots image

Desktop (please complete the following information):

I set up vGrive yesterday for the first time. It created a folder in my home directory (vGrive) and started syncing files. I shutdown my computer later, maybe sync was not fully completed at this point.

Today i look into vGrive config again and see that it is uploading files. It should not upload anything because nothing has been added to my local folder. NEW LOCAL FILE: IMG_20210905_184806.jpg uploaded ✓ NEW LOCAL FILE: IMG_20210905_184806.jpg uploading... NEW LOCAL FILE: IMG_20210905_184811.jpg uploaded ✓ NEW LOCAL FILE: IMG_20210905_184811.jpg uploading... NEW LOCAL FILE: IMG_20210905_184811__01.jpg uploaded ✓ NEW LOCAL FILE: IMG_20210905_184811__01.jpg uploading...

I then checked my google drive and many many copies of files have been added (see screenshot) They all have the exact same name (how is this even possible)?

Why is it doing this? How to resolve this issue? And how to delete these exact name duplicates again? Must be more than 5GB that already has been duplicated before i stopped the sync.

Please help me with this. I do not know how to proceed or to undo the duplication.
