 * Hi
 * we do have large number of duplicate posts.
 * the thing is all duplicates above the option “Duplicate” they do have good permalinks
   but all duplicates above “Original” they do have “-2” in front of the permalinks.
 * there is no option to delete duplicates above “Original”
 * i guess there is a need to have an option in order to delete “Original” only.
 * thanks

 * Hello
 * There is no option to delete duplicates based on permalinks. This is not a feature
   we have any plans on adding.
 * The plugin can sort duplicates based on post title and you have the option of
   keeping the oldest or newest version and the rest will be deleted.
 * Stay safe and take care
