Removing duplicate GRUB entry? (i.imgur.com)

Hey all, I recently wound up with duplicate GRUB entries for my Garuda install. The second entry is the same installation as the top one. How can I remove the duplicate? Should I edit the grub config file?

So your config is importing other drop-in configs as mentioned here:

# This config file imports drop-in files from /etc/default/grub.d/.

Go look in that directory. You probably just have a duplicate file with your menuentries which you can just rename to be safez then run your mkconfig command again and reboot.

Thanks, that's what I thought but when I checked the file that was there its contents didn't seem like what I was expecting. I just backed up the file there, deleted the original, ran the command to remake the grub menu and rebooted, and it worked! Tysm!
