How to close duplicated tab groups in Safari

I have encountered an issue where hundreds of copied tab groups are there. This has slowed down safari on iphone and ipad as well.

MacBook Air, macOS 14.5

How do I delete all tab groups in Safari? I don't know how it happened, but I can't use Safari on any of my devices due to it being bogged down with over 1200 tab groups. I checked my cameras at home and sure enough one of my cats sat on my keyboard and somehow created over 1200 duplicate tab groups, each containing over 380 bookmarks. I have tried turning off iCloud syncing. I am unable to delete any tab group individually as it just freezes the computer. How can I delete all tab groups simultaneously? Thanks!

This is how I closed them. I used automator to record a click sequence and repeated it 1000 times.

Check the video where I show a small time frame of when it was running.

Same problem. Unfortunately, I got 12,197 duplicated tab groups.
