Unfortunately, duplicates are not displayed after import even though they exist.

Hello,
unfortunately, my duplicates are not displayed in the duplicates section after importing the file even though they exist. I have the Mac version, it worked before. I have imported the literature once as XML from Pubmed directly and once via the direct import function (via a TXT format) in Zotero. The direct import function works better for me, so I got the duplicates displayed normally. Unfortunately, I realized that I had accidentally uploaded the literature twice. I deleted them and uploaded them again. Now the duplicates are no longer displayed. The recycle bin has been deleted. Do you know what the problem is and how it can be solved, I would be grateful for any advice, thank you very much!

Best regards
Yasmina

You mean the duplicates collection? Right-click on "My Library" and select "Show Duplicates"

Do you have an idea how I can solve the problem ?

If Zotero detects duplicates, they'll show up in the Duplicate Items view. You can test this by right-clicking on any item and choosing Duplicate Item.

I'm not really clear on what you mean here, though. If you're trying to delete an entire set of imported items, the easiest way to do that is to just sort by Date Added and delete the whole set.

Yes, I common, that happens. Thank you !
