Jpeg File Duplication (Illustrator)

[hugh24937540uhqr]

Saving a jpeg file in illustrator but it duplicates the jpeg files mulitple times. 

How can I stop this?  I only want the program to save one file.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program but  I am still having the same issue. 

Can someone guide me accordingly

Where do you see these duplicates? In Illustrator, outside of Illustrator?

[hugh24937540uhqr]

on the desktop.  I usually save my files there. 

[Ton Frederiks]

If I understand correctly, you place a jpeg file in Illustrator, save the illustrator file and see multiple versions of the jpeg file on your desktop? Named like?

[hugh24937540uhqr]

I save the file in illustrator and export as jpeg to the desktop.  It then saves two of the same file with  number codes attached. I put an example in attachments.

Export as or Export for Screens? The last one allows multiple exports.

Export as

Is it a specific file or all files?

[hugh24937540uhqr]

I tried it as a png format as well and it duplicated the same way. 

[Ton Frederiks]

I meant is it a specific .ai file that behaves like that or any .ai file?

[hugh24937540uhqr]

seems like all ai files

Can you turn off the Use Artboards option when expoting?

[Monika Gause]

How many artboards are there in your file?

[hugh24937540uhqr]

only 1

Trying to duplicate the problem and it will save only one time. Any more details ?

[hugh24937540uhqr]

No please. It was not doing this before to my knowledge.  I just tried it with another ai file.  Exported as a jpeg to my desktop and it duplicated the saved file with -02. number code in the tag line.
