Deduplicate Job - Cannot delete Deduplicate Job

Problem:

When I try to delete a Deduplicate Job, it stays present with status “completed”. When trying to delete the record itself I get an error message stating “Cascade deleting too many records”.

Answer:

This usually occurs when the pairs and groups are still in the recycle bin and not yet deleted fully. Once the records are removed from the recycle bin, the job can be deleted.
