Rename one of them, then you can differentiate the two entries and ignore the one that you don't like. If a unit is offline it will disappear from the list In a few days. You can speed the process by resetting the controller.

Rename one to something else. Sonos doesn’t care what the name is, it uses unique ids for each device. The names are just for our eyeballs.

Thanks. But maybe I didn’t make myself clear. I have stupidly added one device to my system twice and given it the same name each time. So want to delete one of those two names. But I don’t seem to be able to.
