When I open turbotax, there are 3 listings of the same account. Why?

Using TT-Business, I finished doing a fiduciary estate return, federal and state, and saved it. When I reopen it, I see 3 accounts listed, all of which are titled the same. However, 2 do not have recent changes I had made, after I filed.

Why are there 3?

How do I delete 2?

Which do I delete?

Apparently you saved the estate return on several occasions using File >> Save As rather than Save.

You do not need to delete the other files. Just be sure you always choose the last file you worked on.

If you wish to remove the other files, search your computer for all TurboTax files (*.tax20??). This will show you where TurboTax is saving your tax files. As a precaution, you may wish to rename some files and move them to another folder rather than deleting them.
