Salesforce: Record Has No Potential Duplicates but Duplicate Record Set Still Exists

게시 일자: Jul 17, 2026
상세 설명

If the Report option for a Duplicate Rule is enabled, Duplicate Record Items are created for the saved record and its duplicates and are listed under a Duplicate Record Set.

When records are no longer deemed to be "potential duplicates," the Duplicate Record Sets still remain with each of the Duplicate Record Items. This is working as designed.

Duplicate Record Sets are not automatically deleted even when records no longer meet the criteria in your Duplicate Rules. You can manually delete them by creating a Duplicate Report and clicking the link for the Duplicate Record Set Name.

Note: There are two different paths taken when finding duplicates using Duplicate Record Sets and the Potential Duplicates Component.

Potential Duplicates are found based on the Duplicate Rules activated on the object. They provide results based on matching rule methods and activated Duplicate Rules.

Duplicate Record Sets use the Matching Rules active on the object and the key of the first record created in the match.

Although these two tools help find duplicates, they take different paths to determine duplicates, which is why the records may differ.

솔루션

Duplicate Record Sets in Salesforce are not automatically removed when records are no longer considered duplicates. Use one of the following methods to delete them manually.

Option 1: Manually Delete Duplicate Record Sets ### In Lightning Experience

  1. Click the App Launcher on the Navigation bar.
  2. Enter Duplicate Record Sets.
  3. Select the Duplicate Record Sets that need to be deleted.
  4. Click the Delete button.
  5. Click the Delete button again on the popup window.

In Salesforce Classic

  2. Search for Duplicate Record Sets.
  3. Select the Duplicate Record Sets that need to be deleted.
  4. Click the Delete button.
  5. Click OK on the popup window.

Note: Deleting Duplicate Record Sets only deletes the Duplicate Record Items and not the actual records. It is also possible to mass delete Duplicate Record Sets using the Mass Delete option or Data Loader.

Option 2: Bulk Delete Duplicate Record Sets Using Data Loader

  1. Log into the Data Loader.
  2. Click Export.

  6. Return to Data Loader and click Delete.
  7. Follow the prompts to select the .csv file you reviewed in step 5 and delete the items. For more information, see Inserting, Updating, or Deleting Data Using Data Loader.
