Why do I see two OneDrive folders with just one account?

Question

I encountered a weird problem when using OneDrive, I have two OneDrive folders appearing in my explorer, and I am not sure what I did to make it like that.

I found it weird because I just have one Microsoft account in this computer and both folders are named My Name - Personal and have the same contents. It is a small issue but is bothering my OCD, here it is an image of the 2 folders in my explorer.

Is there a way to remove one of the folders from appearing?

Ended up just formatting the system after backing up important info. If someone had a better solution please share.

The only thing that comes to mind is that you had created a symlink, inadvertently. In which case, you could look at the properties to determine which one is a link and delete it.
