Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.In a basic drupal site i extended an existing menu by having taxonomy_menu add a menu-item, containing terms of a specific vocabulary.
Soon after setting-up, changing a (any?) a setting of the vocabulary/taxonomy_menu and saving these, will cause the taxonomy_menu sub-menuitem to get populated with a series of copies of the main vocabulary item.
See the screenshot for an illustration. In this menu (main) the first item called 'work' is generated by taxonomy_menu, and it has 4 terms as submenu-items. The additional items with name 'work' were created somewhere in a later stage. They all point to the vocabulairy term-page (/taxonomy/term/1 2 3 4..) and can't be deleted.

arritjenof commentedsorry to add confusion, but somehow i got version-numbers wrong. the issue reported is observed NOT in version 2.3, but instead in 2.9.
Comment #2
astrophile commentedI have the same issue. Whenever I make a change to the structure of the taxonomy menu for a particular vocabulary, it leaves behind some menu items for that vocab, in addition to the real one.
The only reliable fix seems to be to uninstall the Taxonomy Menu module (by disabling then uninstalling it). Then enable it again and re-create the menu for that vocabulary.
