2) Shut down the AppMods services
3) Run ApplicationModules-DeleteAllDeviceMetadata.sql attached (the device metadata will get rebuilt)
4) Run the following query where aaa,bbb,ccc are LogicalDeviceIds found in section A
-- delete duplicate devices
delete from DataSourceBus.datasourcedevice where DatasourcedeviceID in (aaa,bbb,ccc)
delete from DataSourceBus.logicaldevice where logicaldeviceID in (aaa,bbb,ccc)
