1Password TeamHello dkg and @ponyboy3,
Thanks for your messages and sorry for the delay in response.
The last version that contained a "clean up duplicated items" function was 1Password 7 for Mac. This tool's ability was limited as it checks on a per vault basis for exact duplicates. The process for cleaning up duplicate items in 1Password 8 currently remains a manual process.
Depending on the number of duplicates you have, these can be recognized when searching by title of the duplicate items, then using (Ctrl + Enter) to show all matching items. These duplicate items can then be removed manually by selecting the item (or Ctrl + Click for multiple items) and then right clicking one of the selected items > Delete (or archive). See this guide for more details: Archive and delete items
The Product team continues to look in to ways simplify the duplicate detection process or add a tool to help identify/clean-up duplicate items. I've passed your feedback along to the team.
If you have any other concerns or suggestions, please let us know!

Using the iOS app, attempts to manually eliminate duplicates is inconsistent and frustrating. Some items can be left-swiped to reveal a "remove' panel but some cannot - why the difference. Even after an item is removed it may still show in list and cannot be swiped away, but the 3-dot menu offers "COMPLETELY DELETE". Why the inconsistency and why the two-step process to eliminate the unwanted entry ?
In 1Password for iOS, you can swipe left on entries from the item list to Archive or Delete. After deleting an item it should remain deleted but is moved to the recently deleted folder where you can access these items and restore them for up to 30 days from within the apps.
The menu on items offers the same delete functionality. However, after viewing an item in the recently deleted folder, the menu offers the ability to destroy the item permanently - a separate process from deleting the item. Is this the second step you were referring to you were referring to?
