This is True for any Collection, If one creates and deletes it after which a collection with the same name is recreated it is listed multiple times in the Recently Viewed

This is because we use the Collection ID to uniquely identify (and list) collections. This means that every time your Favorite collection is recreated we use a new ID for it and that's why it gets listed multiple times.

However, I agree that it can be confusing for users.

We just need to remove the items from localStorage. This is almost identical to bug 758117 (the only difference being that we don't look at that name of the collection and only the ID which is unique as Krupa says above).

this is too much of an edgecase for us to worry about today.
