Double "Screenshot" Photos?

[Jalopiejoe]

Since the 5.0 Lollipop update whenever I take a screen shot with a hand jesture or with the S pen I get two images in my Gallery.
Any ideas how to fix that rather than just deleting the 2nd photo?

Are the two images showing up in the same folder (screen shots)? Or, is one being uploaded to a cloud based service (Drive/Photos) and showing up in both locations when viewing the gallery?

Two images are showing up in "screenshots" in my Gallery!
I think only one image goes to rhe cloud/backup!

Same thing here - on phone 10 screen shots in Gallery & Photo. Duplicates (should be 5). On tablet shows the same. Checked my Google acct. from computer & no duplicates (only 5). No pictures on Google+, looks like they have moved all cloud storage to Drive


Edit - just relogged into Google Acct.- now shows all 10 screen shots


2nd Edit - deleted 9 from Gallery. Photo app on phone & tablet and Drive unchanged. Deleted 7 from Photo app (3 left)
Drive & photo app on tablet also showed 3 almost immediatly. Added 1 back from trash All now show 4. This is probably more info than you want, but I was trying different things. Google will save trash (Deleted pictures) in Photos for 60 days. Deleted items in Gallery will still be in Photos.

Thanks for the added info!
I'll take another look elsewhere on my phone.
I checked,
My only duplicate photos are "Screenshots" in Gallery!

Found the answer to my problem!!
When I take a "Screenshot" either with hand jesture or S pen, I was tapping the checkmark in the top right corner to save the image, (Wrong!)
I found that it doubles the image. Do the "Screenshot" hit the back button and that's it! ~ Single image!

Thanks for the solution, I was also doing the same thing. Now it only saves 1

Thanks a million!!!!!!!!
Been trying to figure this out for long time.
Not even Samsung people could tell me how to fix this
You rock!

It worked, thanks. I noticed though, if you crop the screenshot and you hit the back button, it won't save it as cropped.
