Re: What is a better word for "de-duplication"?

That's a tough one.

streamline?
unify?
reduce?
trim?

None of those quite fits, though.

English has a number of nouns for the basic concept, including "unique" and
"distinct". However, I can't think of (or find online) a verb for that
concept.

FWIW (not much, I suspect)
