@derisom..
I've had issues where I'd get duplicates because the GDMenu.cdi/01 folder would get corrupted too and, maybe this is your problem as well but with different symptoms. One thing I've found out is that this cool trick works 100% of the time now.
No matter if it's with Soniks GDMenu Card Manager AND/OR the OG SD Card Maker v1.10.
Everytime you plug in your SD Card into your computer to add/edit or delete anything on your card. Always also delete the first folder aka GDMenu.cdi. in whichever program that you use. So delete GDMenu from the very top. (Don't go into the drive of your SD Card and delete it manually. This will/could cause corruption.) So delete it from the program (SD Card Maker or GDMenu Card Manager, itself.
This way when you press save. It'll add/delete/edit all your game folders that you set and create a brand new 01 GDMenu folder with all the contents that you had and added/deleted/edited wth 0% chance of corruption. I find if you don't do this, there is a possible chance of the GDMenu becoming corrupted when it's being overwritten too. So ALWAYS delete the first GDMenu folder within each program before adding/deleting/editing on your SD card.
Another tip:
Also, if you have mechanical drives in your computer that you use to transfer your games from, make sure your hard drives don't go into sleep mode before you press save. Because when the drives wake up when you press save, it could stall and cause a crash to the SD /Card Maker program(s) and completely cause even more problems to the card folder order. So just run a mp3 track or something to wake up your drive to make sure that drive is running before you press save.
Hopefully this helps.
