Is anyone else having problems where the gallery is downloading old or duplicate photos then not find them to remove them with the duplicate feature?

Not a bug, it's by design.

Open the Gallery and tap on the three lines at the bottom right. Then, select "Suggestions" and scroll down to "Delete duplicate pictures." You will then see the duplicate pictures and can delete them.

Do you have a backup for photos set up? If you have Microsoft OneDrive, it'd constantly re-download from the backup and was super annoying lol

How are you identifying duplicates?

Be aware that ALL photos will show in the recent "album". This is not a real album. It merely shows photos identified by Samsung’s recent algorithm.

Therefore, for example, you will see a photo taken by your camera in the Camera album AND the Recent album. These are NOT duplicate photos. The photo is physically located in the Camera album and only shown in the Recent album.

When you make edits, the phone saves the original, along with the edited version(s) in case you want to revert. I think there's a setting where you can just have it save the edited photo.
