Duplicate Custom Fact Sets

Oh dear, I don't know what I've done but somehow I seem to have two Custom Fact Sets. Never seen that before, one is Custom and the other is Custom Facts. I only noticed this when I was exporting out for saving to external back up. Really appreciate some help. Many Thanks, Jane :?

Well whatever you did it was within the last week, because both the Custom set and the Custom Facts set define your new Outdoor Relief fact that was only added on Monday 30 October as stated in Outdoor Relief Fact (15386).

So perhaps you have used the Fact Sets... button shown in your screenshot, and then the Clone button to create the duplicate set with a new name.

The only other mechanism would the File > Import/Export > Export > Fact Set > Custom Fact Set command, rename of the file, and then use File > Import/Export > Export > Fact Set but that seems very unlikely.

However, I suggest you review each fact definition in both Fact Sets, and if they are identical delete the one you don't want.
To do that, click the Facts Sets... button, carefully select the set you don't want, and click the Delete button.

BTW:
The best way to save settings such as those for backup is to use the Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings Plugin, as it does everything all in one go, including settings in the Windows Registry that mostly cannot be exported using FH.
