Multiple lots several times over going down the list in in My Library when checking the Gallery.

Found the Tray Folder. It was in OneDrive, which I had uninstalled after having a lot of trouble with it. Seems the game still kept putting stuff into the Cloud. I deleted everything in it so now have none of my lots at all but they're still in the game where I've installed them. Complete mess.
EA should have given us an option as to where to save and not save automatically to the Cloud without us knowing early enough. I've got nearly a terabyte for storage on my D drive on my laptop which I'd have preferred.
You can't kill off OneDrive. It automatically switches itself on when doing updates so I wonder if that's why my file got in such a mess.
Oh well back to saving the lots again. :s

@Simburian Thank you for figuring that out! I have had the same problem for a while now and it is really annoying to see so many copies of my lots. I disable OneDrive as I disliked the constant messages that it is full and being asked to purchase more space. I will have to check my OneDrive but will need to enable it again, but will plan to disable it after I delete the doubles. Thanks again!

If you've got any favourite lots that you've saved or built yourself make sure you put them anywhere in a save to stop them disappearing for ever. That's if you are as angry as I was, getting rid of them all in that folder! I'm going to save them again to get them back properly. That's Microsoft for you. They'd love your space to run out!
Would love someone to make a tiny program like they did for the old games, to get rid of duplicates and other undesirables.

@Simburian I have a file on desktop where I put copies of my Library and then put on an exterior drive. I try to back up my Sims occasionally but haven't in a while. Guess it's time to do it again!

You actually *can* get Sims away from OneDrive (or just remove the whole program, which is what I did - I use Drive, but my uploads are manual). https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Sims-4-saves-user-content-disappearing-PC/td-p/12475370

Hm? I have not come across such issue in a while

but yes I would recommend creating save and placing down anything from your library you want to keep in there (save it obviously) and then going My files -> The Sims 4 -> Tray and deleting everything in that tray folder (not the directory)

as it sounds like your tray is broken

you can then re enter the game and put things back in library from the save you created

also there is no partially deleting your tray you either delete all of it or none and combining trays will result to broken tray

if you want to delete specific thing in your library that has to be done inside game but if your tray is broken already it does not work

Thank you for the info @Simburian!

Yeah uh never had One Drive or any other cloud thing so I don't know about damage those cause

i suppose it might be that its moving specific files outside of the folder instead of whole folder which breaks the tray
