Windows Explorer shows two identical "Documents" folders

Welcome to the Forum.
You must be extremely careful. Explorer may show two links to the "Documents" folder under Libraries but it's the same physical folder.
Open Explorer and with the snipping tool take a snapshot of the whole window and save it to your disk.
On the answer screen (below) use the paper clip - browse to the file - upload.
The image will be posted here so we can analyze it.

See if the library shortcut is for the same folder.
Right click on the fist "Documents" - Properties and see where it's shortcut pointing to.
Do the same to the second.
If they are the same, choose one and under properties, un mark destination folders, apply and then delete on Explorer.

As I was trying to follow your instructions I noticed on the top right of Explorer it said "2 Locations". I clicked on that and got a smaller window that showed the 2 folders with the options of removing them, so I removed the one that was a sharing folder.
All's well now.
Thanks!
