Delete item records created using the "duplicate" function if they have not been saved.
On the List of Items screen, under the Actions menu for each item, the "Edit" and "Duplicate" commands are currently adjacent. It is fairly common (at least for me, personally) to accidentally click "Duplicate" instead of "Edit." This automatically takes me into the edit screen for the new item I have unintentionally created.
There is already a "Cancel" option at the top of the screen, but it only goes back to the item list which now includes an extra item. In order to get rid of that new item I have to navigate to it (which can be a bit of a hassle, if it's several pages into the list and I’m not sure what page I was on) and withdraw it.
My suggestion is that this “Cancel” button should actually cancel the item duplication. If the “Duplicate” link gets clicked, there would still be the same two options at the top of the screen: “Save” would save the new item, and “Cancel” would delete it and take you back to the item list. If it’s not intentionally saved, it should just disappear.

Moving the duplicate command away from the edit command would be helpful too.

Yes, this is would be very helpful. When receiving serials, sometimes I want to cancel out of the screen to make sure I'm in the correct record or because I suspect we've received a duplicate. Yet canceling out does not delete the item so I have to leave the receiving screen, find it in a repository search, and delete it from there.
