Hi zhm,
The "Delete all duplicates" option will only remove exact duplicates in the same vault to prevent any potential for data loss. This means that if there's any difference between item's details (which can often happen when importing from multiple sources), they won't be flagged as duplicates.
While it still involves manual effort, one way for finding potential duplicate items that weren't found would be to check the "Reused passwords" section in Watchtower, compare the items listed, and archive/delete any that aren't needed.
