About Removing Duplicates in the Database

To find and remove records with duplicate values in the database you can do this:

for duplicates in Tag.objects.values("name").annotate(
    records=Count("name")
).filter(records__gt=1):
    for tag in Tag.objects.filter(name=duplicates["name"])[1:]:
        tag.delete()
