Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very common situation. Sometimes users access to the database and create an entry two times by accident when two of them are using the same feature of a shared program or when there is a bug which may corrupt the database duplicating information.

Try to find the root cause to prevet this from happeing again and, finally, delete the duplicated record.
