Try deleting the duplicates in Outlook while the phone is connected. Then resync. If that doesn't work, try deleting the duplicates on the phone while it is connected.
Hmmmm
About 300 plus contacts and 1500 plus appointments in the diary.
Not gonna be doing this in a hurry.
But thanks for the reply.
Robin
same duplicates problem...
...and I can't figure it out, I end-up with every contact duplicated dozens of times
I can delete them but it doesn't solve the problem...the next time I check I've got thousands of contacts duplications
Duplicates data hapen to me only, when i did restore my data with PIM Backup first and than Activesync. So if you restore contacts thru third party software like PIM Backup the Activesync will allways creates duplicates.

I have a problem:
I do a backup on my SD every week with Sunnysoft backup manager.
Everytime I do a restore after an unwanted hard reset I have then problems with the first sync with my PC.
First of all I have to rename the Qtek and make another connection with my PC. When I make the synchronisation it does a lot of strange things: it deletes a lot of contacts (from the device or the PC), it deletes a lot of calendar appointments and also mails.... when I try to reorganize it makes a lot of strange things... for example I copy the deleted contacts in the contacts folder (in outlook) and it double contacts on my Qtek (because some of them were on the qtek but not in outlook, also after few sync - how is it possible?!?!).
Someone know where the problem could be???
Thanks for your help.
It is very annoying to loose hours everytime afetr a hard reset .

On my XDAii Sprite Backup works a treat after a restore. No problems. Maybe better to try this instead - it's fairly inexpensive.
Hi
I am in hell with my Wizard right now.
Whenever I create a partnership and sync I get all my contacts and calendar events duplicated.
As I have over 300 contacts and 1500 calendar events I do not want to delete them one by one.
Can anyone tell me what files to delete on the wizard to remove all these items?
Also would be useful to remove all the email on the wizard.
I am hoping if I can do this and sync I won't get duplicates.
Otherwise it is a hard reset and reload all my software and changes, don't really want to do this unless I have no choice.
Cheers.

I believe you can find pim.vol in the 'MyDevice' folder and delete that (or move it memory card in case its wrong). I'm not sure about the emails though, although you can use SPB Backup and then restore only your emails later.
BRILLIANT.
Many thanks that seems to have done the trick.
I really did not want to have to hard reset you have saved me loads of time and effort.

My Calender is showing duplicate entries because it is showing birthdays automatically from the contacts (birthday category) and also the synced birthdays (home category) from outlook (manually added to outlook). Can somebody help me to disable birthday category?
Don't know if that's possible. Would be nice to know.
I use these two solutions to remove duplicates:
1) For phone: http://gydarindustries.com/?page_id=4
2) For Outlook: http://www.vaita.com/ODIR.asp
Thanks for your response. But I don't have any duplicates in outlook as I have disabled Birthdays category. On second thoughts, I realize that this problem arose only after I restored my PIM from SPB Backup after flashing a new rom. Previously I didn't have duplicate entries (when I took the backup). After flashing, I have not yet synced with outlook. I believe, if I am able to delete my calendar data (or whole PIM data) and resync with outlook, then it should help. But how to delete my calendar data on phone???

The program I mentioned in my first reply (http://gydarindustries.com/?page_id=4) has an option to to a bulk delete of you appointments. You could also do a hard reset offcourse.

Sorry to hijack the topic, but how exactly did you get the contact birthdays to appear in the calendar automatically? I can't seem to find the potion of doing this?
Thanks

Well, it just happened automatically after restoring from a Backup. Initially, after the sync, no birthdays were transferred from contacts. Probably it is SPB Backup which may have transferred the birthdays. In such a case, try backing up your PIM with SPB and then restore. Good Luck!

Hard reset would be the last option as I will loose all my installed programs and their settings. Though I can always backup again with SPB (without PIM this time), hard reset, restore programs & settings via SPB and then sync with outlook for PIM!
But before that, I would definitely try the software you suggested as it seems to be a more quick solution.
Today I helped a friend flashing his HD2 for the first time. I used my own laptop since I have everything on it.... I synced his HD2 trusting the data would be saved seperate... It didn't... Now I have 600 extra contacts and my calendar is full till 2012.... Is there any way to undo this?
My HD2 is still clean btw...
What happens if you delete the partnership?
I dont know, but I dont think it will delete the agenda items, do you?
EDIT: Ended it, and still stuck with the agenda items
I don't think there's a way unless you have a backup of your outlook file you can restore.
Maybe a risky thing, backup your outlook file, delete the partnership in WMDC (on the PC, not on the phone), delete everything you have on outlook, set WMDC so that the mobile device replaces the PC, and recreate the partnership.
Yes I was thinking about that to, but how do I set my HD2 to replace all on the PC?..
In WMDC on the PC... but actually it seems that's within a partnership, so not sure it would be kept if you delete it...
well thanks! I'm going to try it tomorrow, I'll post the results
Well.. I deleted the sync relation on my mobile and POOF all my contacts etc were gone... -_-.. **** happends

This happened to me when syncing with 2 PCs... with one of them had not synced my contacts in the first place... after trying to sync it, my phone was empty... then wanted to sync with the other one, where my contacts were still sitting...
guess what, the sync deleted all the contacts on the second PC, too... Fortunately, I had a backup... and now I sync my contacts also with MyPhone, just in case...
I've had my hd2 for a few months now and I've updated the rom on it a few times, experimenting with both stock and cooked versions. Each time I've used Microsoft Myphone to backup my contacts, caledar, etc. However when I use it to download my contacts, I get duplicates, between 2-5 duplicates.
I've logged into myphone on the web and there is only 1 copy of each contact, any idea what causes this or how to fix it?
Thanks
woah i never had that problem with Myphone, erm, double check myphone page for your account, task 29 your phone and format mem card just couple of things might make a difference,
or long way round delete your duplicates create a new myphone account and then save them to the new account and see if the problems still persist
I also had this problem. Not all contacts are duplicated only some. I think this happens when you close myphone before it has finished doing it's job.
I too had thhis problem. If you log into MyPhone via a pc and look around you will see 'archives'. I deleted these (making sure that the correct contacts were as they should be in the main list).
No more duplicates

Did you delete all the archive contacts? When I looked, there were only 2 duplicates whereas almost all of my contacts on my phone are duplicated.
Thanks

Not sure why it happens, but they seem to know it does, there is a duplicate finder on the my phone page, you can then delete the dupes and sync ...
I deleted all the items in my archive and searched for all duplicates, so I only have 1 on each contact on myphone. I updated my rom and downloaded my contacts again with myphone and still ahd duplicates. I'm starting to think that it's not worth the effort :s I suppose there are other backup apps that will save the same info. The only difference between them and myphone is finding a lost phone, is this feature any good?
..
The problem is when you sync with myPhone and also have synced with outlook contacts..
You can also buy an application on marketplace. Dont remember what its called: something with duplicate.. but it works..
Not really a solution but this software will help you fix duplicate entries:

works great i've used it on my HD2 and it's free!
are you restoring a pim backup when you flash?
That would create duplicates once you sync'd with MyPhone ..

No I'm not. On the last flash of the rom, I didn't use any backups and didn't download contacts using windows live as I've done before. I just used myphone service after deleting all the archive items and still got duplicates :s
It's a huge pain because im sure the number of duplicates is growing each time I restore.
That's actually quite weird.
1) Are you backing up any of the folders / files from \Application Data? - I tried that once hoping that it would speed up the configuration process of MyPhone everytime I flashed (which is a LOT!) and it completely screwed everything up.
2) Are you absolutely sure that you haven't set up any Sync options with Windows Mobile Device Center / ActiveSync / Outlook on your desktop?
3) Are you absolutely sure that you don't use Exchange over ActiveSync for emails? (You could have accidentally enabled the Contacts Sync feature) (If you use UC, then you might have provisioned an Exchange Email account and might not realise it)
I have a suggestion.
1) Disable MyPhone
2) Delete all the redundant contacts. (It's painful I know)
3) Use PIM Backup and save all your contacts (as a backup just in case something goes wrong)
4) Hard Reset (Make sure you don't use XDA_UC / SDConfig Customization)
5) Clear out your MyPhone account. Delete EVERYTHING. ALL CONTACTS + ARCHIVES.
6) Restore your PIM Backup contacts.
7) Re-run MyPhone and see how it goes.
Sometimes the best thing with Sync Mechanisms is always to start fresh.

I did another hard reset. Deleted all my tasks and contacts from the web Myphone login.
I'm backing up a few folders, only things like pictures, music and my documents.
I'm using WM Device Center on my desktop and syncing everything except emails, where would those files be kept? I'll see if there are duplicates there.
It happened again, so I'm going to check over my WM Device Centre settings like you suggested. I wonder why that keeps duplicating them though!
Thanks for all the help guys
Found a solution - Duplicates - Microsoft My Phone
Hi All,
I had the same problem on my HTC HD2, and was able to solve it.
Log on to your account at .... microsoft
First remove dublicates on this account by tools available on-screen (Contacts>find dublicates>toggle all>remove dublicates)
Tab on "Connected Phones" on the left.
You should find only one phone connected to your account.
I found two phones, each with a "date added" field corresponding to the date when I installed the "Microsoft Myphone" app on my device.
I installed this application twice, first was when I first bought my phone with stock rom and the second when I installed it after a rom upgrade.
Two phones on your account (Same HTC HD2)will synchronize same contact from each one to your phone!! Does make sense though weired.
Remove all un-needed phones.
Do synchronization again from your phone and all duplicates will vanish.

Thanks, worked for me removing the archive from myphone (it was somehow accumulating contacts and calendar events)
