  Identify Duplicates:

  Check Transport Requests:
  
  Review transport requests to ensure that app variants are not being transported multiple times. If necessary, adjust the transport requests to avoid duplicates.
  
  
  
  Database Cleanup:
  
  In some cases, a database cleanup might be necessary. This should be done with caution and typically involves working with your SAP Basis team to ensure that no critical data is lost.
