Please Please Please ... Delete duplicates

I can buy something off marketplace but.... it would be so much easier if you could delete duplicates within the current inventory system

Hi, thanks for your feature request.
While we understand your frustration with duplicate items, your current request lacks sufficient detail for our development team to properly evaluate. To help us better assess this suggestion, please consider creating a new post that includes:
- A more detailed proposed solution (e.g., how would duplicates be identified? Would this be an automatic process or user-initiated? How would the system determine which copy to keep?)
- Examples of specific scenarios where this feature would be most useful
- Any potential issues you can foresee with implementation (e.g., some duplicates might be intentional)
The inventory system is complex, and changes require careful consideration to avoid unintended consequences for our diverse user base. A more comprehensive proposal would help us evaluate feasibility and prioritization.
We look forward to your expanded suggestion and thank you for your continued interest in improving Second Life.

before I comment my thoughts, can you explain what the relevance is between marketplace and inventory? MP items will of course tell you if it has been purchased before so I'm uncertain where your going with the request. are you asking MP to not show items you have purchased for example or duplicate items in inventory itself?

Maybe something like "sort by frequency/amount"? Would have to have the exact same object name I'd imagine, but would def help me see if I still have 20 folders of an old sculptie avatar I didn't think to search manually. A over-simplified 'delete duplicates' button would risk breaking a lot of avatars/outfits accidentally, but we do need more tools to easily clean big inventories, and being able to clearly see what we have a lot of is a major one.

As long as it isn't defacto behavior and is a setting off by default.
I sometimes redeliver something if I can't find it, if I broke it or it broke itself.
Sometimes it's just one thing I need out of a folder of many things.

Hello, and thank you for your feature request regarding the ability to delete duplicate items within the inventory system. This is a great idea and one that another resident has also brought up in the past. We are merging your comments with the previous request to help us prioritize this feature. While we don't have an estimate on when it might be implemented, please keep an eye on future updates. We appreciate your input and hope you continue to share your ideas to help improve Second Life.
