Two 1Password data files?
In an attempt to slim down my iPhone, I have discovered two separate 1Password data files of drastically different sizes on my iCloud drive. Do I need both files? Or is one perhaps a legacy file from a previous version that I am ok to delete?
1Password Version: 6
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS 9
Sync Type: iCloud

@lhatesplash - The second 1Password data file in your iCloud drive is leftover from 1Password 4 for Mac. Duplicate entries for 1Password are not a cause for concern. In fact, they’re are an indication that your upgrade went successfully. When you opened 1Password 5 for the first time, your data was copied from the old iCloud into the new CloudKit-based sync system. The original data was not deleted during this process and remains listed in iCloud alongside the new data. There is no need to do anything about duplicate 1Password entries in iCloud. The old data generally takes up very little space and should not interfere with the new data (or vice versa). We also recommend against simply deleting one of the entries in the iCloud storage list, as there is no foolproof way to tell the old and new data apart.

Thanks for the blazingly quick response. So even though one file is twice the size of the other, I should be fine deleting either one of them? This seems like potential bloody carnage. Maybe I delete the smaller one? I am scared, LauraR. Scared.

NO, please don't delete either one. There is no need to do anything about duplicate 1Password entries in iCloud and we recommend you do nothing. Sorry if I wasn't clear before.
