Lightroom Classic 7.5 (1186149) showing one photo multiple times

For a small number of my photos Lightroom is showing the same photo twice or three times in the grid view.

If I try to delete one it deletes both.

If I change the name of one it changes the others.

For example see highlighted photos below

There is only one photo in the folder

There are a few other reports here on this problem. I believe the consensus is that this means your catalog is corrupted.

Thanks. As Lightroom isn't telling me the catalog is corrupt how to do I repair it?

If you have regular backups you can try to open a catalog from before the problem was noticed.

Restore a backup catalog

Choose File > Open Catalog.
Navigate to the location of your backed up catalog file.
Select the backed up .lrcat file and click Open.
(Optional) Copy the backed up catalog to the location of the original catalog to replace it.

Have you reset Lightroom preferences?

Yes, but it doesn't correct it. Thanks.
