[Koha] Duplicate book entry in staff interface

I hope this email finds you well.

My name is Ali, and I work for a university based in Kenya. Recently, I
installed KOHA ILS for our university library. During the setup of our
bibliographic data, I converted our records into MARC format and uploaded
them to the system. Unfortunately, I realized I made some mistakes when
creating the MARC records.

In my efforts to resolve the issue, I followed the instructions from the
following link on how to delete all records while keeping the settings
intact.

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/How_to_delete_all_records_and_keep_settings

Specifically, I truncated all the tables except for the borrowers table.
After correcting the MARC records, I re-uploaded the bibliographic data.
The system accepted the updates, and the data appeared to be fine.

However, I have encountered a problem when searching for any book via the
staff interface. I see two entries for each book—one from the old incorrect
data and one with the new corrected data. Clicking on the old entries
results in an error message indicating that the item is not found. On the
OPAC side, the search results appear to be correct with no duplicates.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue? Any assistance you
can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and support.
