Unnecessary files with amplify pull

Question

Everytime I run amplify pull on my dev environment, I get quite a bit of unnecessary / duplicated files as shown in the screenshot attached to this ticket. How can I remove these from my environment?

Hey @uzaymacar 👋 thanks for raising this! It appears duplicate files have made there way into your deployment bucket. This bucket is used for storing backend state, and when you run pull it is fetching that state. To mitigate this you can download the #current-cloud-backend.zip archive, unzip, remove duplicate files, re-zip, and re-upload.

I'm curious though, is your project located in a folder that's used for syncing to cloud storage like Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.?

[uzaymacar]

Yes @josefaidt, that is the problem indeed, cloud storage sync with iCloud. I'm closing the issue, thanks for the help.
