That is strange, as I use this feature every now and then myself to get
rid of duplicates, though on newer versions.

That is very, very strange. Can you see if the problem persists in a newer
version of KMyMoney? I have a gut feeling that this 5.0.6 Windows version has
a bunch of problems. Where did you get it from?

The lastest 5.0.8 can be found here: https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/KMyMoney_Release_win64/

Do you know that KMyMoney usually keeps a number of backups by itself? Or is
this feature turned off on your system?

To fix your 'broken' book-keeping is probably only possible with manual labor.

In order to fix the software we would need a way to duplicate the problem first.
