Removal of duplicate photos in my dropbox photo library

I somehow uploaded several hundred photos from my iphone to dropbox. Not sure how I did it, but now I see a lot of duplicate photos in dropbox (carousel).

This is absolute insanity!  Deleting the dupes is not only tedious but an endless job!  As soon as I delete them, Dropbox starts uploading them again from my phone!  This not only chews up my mobile data, but it also maxes out my available space.  I have contacted Dropbox support about this, only to get useless, canned responses.  I have searched for solutions anywhere online, only to come up empty.

Could this "flaw" be 'by-design' to force basic users like me to pay for an upgrade to Pro?  Please, please, please FIX THIS already... I am a programmer and this is really NOT that hard to do!!
