Category “Duplicate” contains photos although no duplicates are available

Hello Mario,
I have installed IM 2025.1.14. My first tests were successful and ran without any problems.
Now I have noticed the following:
11 duplicates were displayed in the "Duplicates" category. These were already present in IM 2023.
I have now deleted the duplicate photos, but the "Duplicates" category still shows me the same 11 photos. When I select them and search for duplicates again, I get the message that there are none.
How and when will this category be updated?

Thanks for IM 2025!
Frank

This is a normal category. Pictures are assigned to it automatically if IMatch detects duplicates while ingesting new or changed files, but AFAIK there is no automatism to remove them.
Just select the pictures in the category and unassign them manually (shortcut: "U").

Hello,
Thank you for the quick reply.
My enthusiasm for this forum is growing day by day!
It's been a while since I faced this problem.
I simply forgot about it.

It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one still thinking about Mario's ingenious product at this time of day.
