Duplicate User Folders

In my users folder (MacBook Pro 2019 running Catalina) there are duplicate folders, eg myname, myname 1, myname 1 2 3. They have different versions of the subfolders and different dates of creation and modification. Do I need to keep them all?

So is the home folder the one with house icon rather than the folder icon? That one has 210GB vs 30 or 40 for the others. The various folders hold different subfolders and so deleting any of them would seem to remove certain folders that are not present in the others...I'm not comfortable doing that yet. For instance the home folder (house icon) is missing the Desktop subfolder...?
