I hope you're not using Edge (any channels) as your default browser because with these favorite sync issues, you might lose your data.
it happened to me that's why I use Firefox at my default and Edge canary 2nd.
favorite duplication never happened to be more, I use Firefox nightly, used to use Chrome Canary, also used many new browsers that were on beta and unstable phase, none of them had favorite duplication. I don't know how favorite syncing is implemented in Edge but I'm afraid it is a fundamental issue and they might need to redo the sync engine from scratch to be 100% sure that favorites are no longer lost or duplicated.

That's not convenient for average users. and to explain it to everyone to do it is impractical. best thing is to wait it out and let the developers fix it before using Edge as default browser.
they should have delayed the rollout through Windows update for at least 3 or 4 months, until Edge stable reached version 82 or 83 at least.
