duplicate groups has arisen before on the forum, not sure why it happens but it feels like a error in looping somewhere?.

Regardless the first thing you must always do to trouble shoot is fall back to the BP default theme and deactivate any BP plugins and verify if the issue still happens, it’s important to establish if this is a bug with BP or an error in some custom theme or plugin.

I’ve seen this stuff happen where a database count key has been set, but the groups have been manually deleted from MySQL (or vice-versa). I’m not aware of any issues in core that would cause this. It’s probably a plugin.

I think in this respect instructing to manually correct the issue by directly manipulating the DB tables, deleting records etc isn’t going to be an easy option but think it’s probably the only option.
