It's been about (two months) a month since you asked, so if you're still looking for an answer.. I lucked into one.
If you're working from a Onedrive account or a cloud account that enables the Autosave feature, each subsequent save makes another copy of the image. I turned off my autosave, cleared the multiple copies from their location on the page... and no more copies spawned.
It only cost me.. a save click every now and then.
Hope that helps. It fixed mine, but YMMV.

Bobbloomer That's unfortunate. Having to choose between autosave or duplicates is a bad situation. I am so used to just closing windows when I'm working in Office because it always autosaves... turning that off is risky for me! I just can't believe this issue still exists... I am seeing posts about this bug going back several years.
