Same Edmond. Also installed Nokia Camera Beta and no more duplicates. Link to beta app doesn't show in Store, got it via Nokia Camera beta updated with UI tweaks | WMPoweruser
Found a workaround for that DUPLICATION PROBLEM...
In my case the files in MEMORY CARD were getting duplicated. Searched online for solution and only thing they said was to Reset.
BUT...what I did was,
Turn off my Lumia.
Remove SD Card.
Insert it into another phone (Non-Windows).
You will see a folder named WPSystem on SD Card.
Delete that folder.
Re-insert in my Lumia.
Wait for some time while the configuration file is re-created.
At least for me that solved the problem.
Cheers!!!
Will deleting hidden WPSystem folder causes any data loss like songs deletion etc, I hope its just a data base file .db)
I my case in Lumia1520, same problem, I changed the photos saving option to Phone
still getting the same
so I guess nothing to do with the SD card
No, it's not a nice option, but it really worked for me. This is what I did: I've splitted my files, my music on the sd card and my photos on the internal storage. If you have mp3 files with cover-art that causes the duplicate error, you have only double entries on your music location. Then you know if it has something to do with your music files. If you save them together on the same storage (no matter what; sd card or internal memory) then you also have duplicates on your photos. I suggest you to separate them and let me know where you still have the duplicate problem.Removing cover art isn't a nice option . Here's what i did when almost my whole music library got duplicated. I initially formatted the card, and all the obvious stuff. Got duplicates again. i realised that the phone has cached my music data somewhere (the 'others' storage) and thus it doesn't forget about it completely even when its gone (there's a way to make it forget it, there was some post on wp central about music tips on windows phone, it told how exactly to format). I instead created a new folder in sd: 'pc music', and copied my music there. It worked ! No duplicates since 3 months ! Though whenever i download new music, it goes to music folder, and i remember 2-3 times i did get duplicates of songs kept in music folder, but my pc music folder is safe !

Can you also delete that folder with a memory cardreader instead of using another phone?Found a workaround for that DUPLICATION PROBLEM...

That's not at all possible for me. I have just 150 MB free on my 520, and my photos are huge ! I'm having a lot of trouble with them recently, thanks to my adventures.No, it's not a nice option, but it really worked for me.
