That is expected.
You can refresh the list (typically, F5) & it should then go away.

Not sure offhand if there is a setting to do that or not?

Everything only finds duplicates once.

Everything doesn't monitor for changes to duplicates.

I will consider an option to do that.



For now, please consider the following search:

dupe:size;name requery:1000

Everything will requery for find duplicates every 1000 milliseconds. (1 second)

Please note: requery: can be rather taxing on CPU usage.
