I just started uploading about a week ago, and I already see I have many duplicate files (pictures). I would like to purge (clean out) entire cloud and start fresh.

Sergio Solorzano I changed computer and therefore had different folders from where to load up the files onto Opendrive. I deleted all the files from Opendrive and set to upload my local drive files again. However my remote Opendrive space used has not changed. I know the files right now in my opendrive account is incorrect. Is there a way to delete evrything from Opendrive to re-load up again? Thanks

OpenDrive Admin You can indeed delete all of your files form your OpenDrive folder and start fresh.
First, it is important to make sure that, if you have our software installed, you do not have any sync or backup tasks configured.
Next, go to each of your OpenDrive root folders (My Documents, My Music, My Pictures and My Public Folder) and select all files and subfolders. Send them to the trash. Make sure to leave the root folders there so you can verify that they are all empty.
After that, make sure that you empty the trash. Files are not permanently deleted until the trash is emptied. This works the same as the Recycle Bin on Windows and the Trash Can on a Mac. It allows you to recover files if you delete them by mistake.
Once you empty your trash, the files will be permanently deleted and they will no longer be reflected in your space available.
You can then re-upload your files to OpenDrive. Please keep in mind that this may take several hours depending on individual file size, number of files and total size of all files.
