I have a project with some linked models. One model in particular for some reason, after reloading the file after some edits, now shows up with two subcatagories (if that's even what you call them... see attachment): one (labeled "3") which I have set custom filters to hide certain things, but the other (labeled "5" and circled in red) seems to be just a copy of the first. I can go to each view and uncheck it, but would rather not have to mess with it. I'm not sure where it came from or what I did to add it, but I can't find a way to delete it. Anyone seen this before?

OK I figured out what the problem was... I had somehow inadvertantly copied and pasted the linked model back into my project, and it created a duplicate instance which could be overridden in each view. I deleted that instance and am now back to where I was and wanted to be.

It's easy to make that mistake.
