I worked in New Jersey for 6 months but lived in New York the whole time. When filing New Jersey state taxes both New York and New Jersey incomes are listed which total more than my federal income. Do I just keep New Jersey or the bigger of the two?

Yes. On NJ non-resident return, check the box to remove NY wages.
When you are adding your State Returns, add your New York state return first and then add your New Jersey return.

Add your state returns by following these steps:
but everything I read says do non resident state first then do your resident state second
I recommend you prepare the non-resident state first. This ensures that the resident state will properly calculate any credit for taxes paid to the other state, that you may be eligible for. This prevents you from being double-taxed on the same income.
So on my non resident new jersey taxed I should drop NY with a check mark to delete it from my new jersey calculations?
Yes. On NJ non-resident return, check the box to remove NY wages.
