Then you are probably out of luck that way, unless you are in a kind of situation as indicated by catocony.
You should try to also see if your passport-issuing country/authorities are willing to correct any data from filings to Interpol about lost/stolen passports since your passport was just temporarily misplaced rather than permanently lost/stolen. But you’re probably out of luck that way too.
Eventually the secondaries will probably drop off in frequency, more so after the filed passport expiration date ends up being older and older history.
