Ok. I’m building a site using Godaddy hosting and using ftp to upload the files.  
The problem is when I upload files agian to update them I tell the folder to replace the items, but it will only do it sometimes. Now I have all these duplicated files that won’t delete. How can I fix and/ or prevent this problem.
