Android Central Question

Greetings,
My phone, Lenovo k10 with Android 6 (Marshmallow) started to behave weird recently. My programs such as Galery (the built-in one and downloaded one) or Music Player now recognise two sd card folders: /storage/emulated/0 and also /sdcard/. WHich is annoyng, and really messes up with my Music Player. How can I fix this?

It happened to me before on the same phone (two days ago). The folder /sdcard/ did show up on my PC but not mobile's file manager. After removing the /sdcard/, it worked for 10 minutes, than it deleted entire SD Card content. So, I'm not doing it again, only if I had no choise... I'm desparate, please help.

Thanks a lot :)

Welcome to Android Central! I'm pretty sure /storage/emulated/0 is the same as /storage/sdcard0. The files aren't being duplicated -- it's just a peculiarity of the Android filesystem.
