You can delete it from database. Open a MySQL console or a MySQL client and run:
Code: [Select]

use pluto_main;

SELECT PK_Manufacturer, Description FROM Manufacturer WHERE Description LIKE '%your_name_here%';


This will return the primary key of the records from database. Then delete the duplicate records using:
Code: [Select]
DELETE FROM Manufacturer WHERE PK_Manufacturer=X;
with X the primary key returned by SELECT query.

Be aware that if that manufacturer is used as foreign key for a device template, for example, by deleting it you will have an invalid key which will cause sqlCVS, the tool who make database syncronization, to crash.
You can check this with a query like:
Code: [Select]
SELECT * FROM DeviceTemplate WHERE FK_Manufacturer=X;
