For Desktop Software only....sounds like what you have.
______________
Depends on what you see.
IF one of them has a tilde "~" in front of it? Then that is just a temporary file in case of an unplanned shutdown or computer crash....and you just use the one without a "~" in front of it.
___________
IF you see two actual differently named files?
Then you need to start up your 2021 desktop software.
Open each tax file...one at a time.
Go up to the "File" menu item...
Select "Electronic Filing" from the drop down...and then "Show Electronic Filing Status History"
IF there is no history, then that form wasn't filed....try the other one.
______________
Once you ID which is which......then the one not used may need to be renamed to something else..."2021 Test" ? or deleted. (Of course, this does assume you checked your filing status last year)
I keep several files of my own each year...one as "2022_Initial" early in the season....one "2022_Intermediate" for mid season (i.e. Now), then I'll have "2022_Final" for when I get all my forms in and I'm ready to file.
