Hi ​@FPayab,

This issue can happen if you have already created a duplicate of the permission set you are trying to delete. If that is the case, remove the duplicated permission set and try.

Hi ​@FPayab 

did you assign another permission set (functional) to this permission set?

Maybe the functional role is being used somewhere else?

Hi ​@FPayab,

That is seems causing the issue. The duplicated permission set keeps a link to the original in the Duplicated From field, and that link may be blocking the deletion.

One option is to create a new permission set from scratch and add the permissions you need without duplicating it. But if there are a lot of permissions and grant to recreate, that can be a lot of work. In that case, it may be simpler to leave the original as it is and just unassign it from users.

Yes. This is absurd. Have to re-create everything. it defeats the purpose of Duplicate if it keeps it linked to the original.
