Duplicate external disks in sidebar

The Finder sidebar under locations and external disks show duplicate drive names - see image below. In researching found that in previous version of Mac OS there was a preference file that could be deleted and then reset by rebooting. Currently running Ventura 13.4.1 on a2017 27" iMac and I cannot find the preference file. At a loss now and your help would be appreciated. Thank you Dan

The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.6 —I would start there.
