enter image description here

This is a picture of my desktop, with the main folder in which I store pretty much everything. At some point in time, the computer sprouted a twin. They both have the same name, and go to the same place - there are just two of them. The situation concerns me, as it seems like the indexing of my files and folders in this location has also gone awry, and I assume the issues may be linked.

What should I do? I'm pretty sure I can't delete one, as that would delete everything....

Thanks for your help

.desktop file

The only possible explanation I can think of is that one of them is a .desktop file. To find out, run ls ~/Desktop, and see if that is the case. [your comment confirmed my suspicion]

If That is the case, you can check what is inside it by running

gedit '~/Desktop/The Door.desktop'

It seems a pretty useless file though.

The big question is where it came from
