[SOLVED] Some .list I have duplicated

Hi.
In my other post about Balena-Etcher installation Q4OS Team saw this:

"We can also see you have defined a redundant repository "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/balena-etcher.list" what causes conflicts with other system repositories. Do you know, how did it emerge in your system ?"

Please see on the bottom of the other post
https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4677

Anybody can help me to delete it? Thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] Some .list I have duplicated

As I already wrote, I have not enough knowledge to know if it is safe to just delete it, the subsidiary question being whether deleting this file will make things better or worse : doing this, you're affecting the package management system.
I would prefer to edit the file and comment out each line with an hash (#) at the beginning (or multiple # to be able to identify these lines in the case you should come back to the original version). Look at q4osteam's explanation in your other thread (post #9). Don't forget to terminate with $ sudo apt update after you saved the file.

Hello.
Forgive me Hchiper, I didn't notice that Q4OS Team had replied to me. The scroll is often faster than me. I have already done what Q4OS told me and so far everything is fine, I even notice some speed. Thank you very much for your help Hchiper and that of Q4OS Team, I really appreciate your help. Thank you very much.
