You have one extra "Macintosh HD -Data" volume you can use the +/- option to remove it.


Two Macintosh HD - Data (or more in your case)

from Disk Utility.app you can see the mount point


One will be mounted at /System/Volumes/Data this is the one you want to keep,


The other will be mounted at /Volumes and you can simply use the “ -“ to delete it.
