Cloned android device or PC window's security breach?

Hello

I have 1 desktop computer and 1 Android phone.

I use the photos legacy app and I noticed that on the "select folders" in the settings my phone path appeared two times.

I immediately removed the "link to windows" app from my android device and then I switched off my wifi and mobile data, went to the PC's file explorer but the android device appeared as if it is still connected ?!?! 

I clicked on it and I could navigate my phone's storage as if it was still connected.

This doesn't make sense, do you think that someone has cloned my Android device or hacked my windows PC?

Thank you in advance!

    Windows might be showing cached network devices or previously connected devices. After removing the app and disconnecting Wi-Fi/mobile data, the device may still appear temporarily due to cached network information.
