You did everything fine. TMG merges a copy of one dataset into the other,
but leaves the original in place.

One data set has both sets of data and the other only one (depending upon
whether you merged A into B or B into A). Determine which dataset has both
sets (cross check for known individuals to be sure which dataset is the new
combined version). Then go into dataset manager and delete the unneeded
dataset.
