  • @Hugababybear  Yes, you can delete everything with - Copy in its name.  Sims 4 can't read the files, and your saves are inside the saves folder anyway.  It's a good idea in general to back up this saves folder, preferably on an external drive or cloud storage, so you're never in danger of losing everything due to a comptuer problem.  Your saved households and builds are in Tray, so you may want a backup of that folder too.

    Long term, it looks like you might have OneDrive messing with your files.  If you'd ever like to address that, here's a guide that includes the various options:

    It's written for disappearing content, but the OneDrive sections are relevant whether your files are disappearing or duplicating, or you just want to change how OneDrive is handling your files, if at all.
