Ｗeird Apple Watch screenshots keep showing in iPhone's photo album

I disable my apple watch screenshot function. But the weird Apple watch screenshots keep showing in iphone's photo album. If I deleted it, it will spawn again. All the same photo, screenshots, and it shows Nov 23 1:05 AM. I have no ideas what it happen. Also delete all the apps installed since Nov. 2023. Anyone has the same issue?

My apple watch AW7 is in 9.6.3.

My iphone 14 pro is in 17.1.1.

Are you using iCloud Photos and share an album?

Try to empty the "Recently deleted" album and see if it comes back.

What happens if you take a screenshot with your Apple Watch?

Does it end up in the same album as the unknown origin one?

Did you already try to force restart your Apple Watch?

Seems it shows no more duplicate screenshots after restarting my AW these two days. Thanks. Will update if it happens again.

I did have shared album but it contains no photos zero Kb, and shared album is for a long time. But the weird screenshot photos keep showing in these days.
