    How to remove duplicate folder entries in Explorer Win 11


    My never-ending quest to de-clutter File Explorer continues....File Explorer contains two entirely duplicate folder trees:This PC\Users\gdstuDesktop\Geoff StuartThese folders have identical contents. I cannot display Properties for Desktop\Geoff Stuart. It appears to me a "shortcut" to This PC\Users\gdstu. Changing any entry in Desktop\Geoff Stuart causes the same change to be reflected in This PC\Users\gdstu. So I am confident that they are redundant.How can I eliminate Desktop\Geoff Stuart from Explorer? Is this controlled by a Registry key?Thanks.

    :)
