admin panel >> configuration [settings] >> Modify Settings (tab)

at above location you can see setting groups and options buttons at the right side column.
you can delete the duplicate settings with care through that options button
Where is the option to delete them? They are all defaulted....

^ in that case, they need to be removed through database manager (eg. phpMyAdmin)
assuming that you have a legit forum, you may PM me temporary access to web host panel to check it
i am in the database right now, how do i do it, if you don't mind explaining. i'd rather not give access to my database if at all possible, even if it's only temporary.
Even in the database it's only showing 1 of each setting, so i don't know why it's showing 3 of them in the configuration on my forums.
you can sort the setting_groups table by name field to trace the duplicated setting groups
you can keep the first one and remove subsequent rows for each duplicated setting_groups
alright thank you Smile it fixed it!
