To remove duplicate files from Google Drive permanently, you need to follow a careful and structured process. First, identify all duplicate files instead of deleting items randomly. Manually searching for duplicates can be confusing, especially if files exist in different folders or shared drives. A reliable method is to use a secure tool like SysInfo Google Drive Duplicate Finder, which connects through Google login and scans your Drive without automatically deleting anything.

After the scan is complete, the software displays duplicates in organized categories such as same-folder duplicates, large files, hidden files, and more. Carefully review the results and select only the unnecessary duplicate files. You can either choose the “Delete Permanently” option directly or move them to Trash first. For complete and irreversible removal, open Google Drive Trash and empty it. Only after clearing the Trash are the duplicate files permanently deleted and your storage space fully recovered.
