Solution

Are you on Mac or Windows? I had the issue on my MacBook and realised that it was because I was syncing my Desktop and Documents folder to iClouds.

My flutter files were inside of Documents and they were syncing to iCloud every time I saved my code. Thats when I realised the file duplication.

You can disable syncing your Documents to iCloud with the guide here: https://appletoolbox.com/how-to-stop-icloud-syncing-desktop-folders/
