Hello,

I wanted to clean up my webflow database automatically, and potentially on a recurring basis.  
Here is a quick tutorial as I had a complicated process and finally understood how to simplify it.

It’s really simple but worth mentioning as searching for “remove duplicates in webflow” in google yields you nothing.

**1. Pull all collection items from webflow**

**2. Remove duplicates from the list**

**3. Find overlap between table from webflow and table from step 2 ( ❗ using the slug ❗) to create a list of entries to delete**

**4. Send to webflow for deletion**

**The overall process should look something like this :**

Hope it can help someone!  
Have a good day
