I was just finishing up with the linked duplicates video of the tutorial and foudn that one of my linked houses whenever i hit G to move it around it automatically made a duplicate… idk what i did different… all other houses in the linked “group” arent doing the same thing… its only this one house…Cause and fix?

This sounds strange: Pressing "g" and duplication happens.
I can imagine, that the object, under the influence of the g command, was already duplicated!
It is for blender no problem to have multiple objects, of the same type (duplicated) on exactly the same location.
- Just delete the duplicated object(s)

i thought that too, so i moved and tried again… and again… and again… and again… how can it ahave duplicated 6 times at least. i stopped at that. ill try and just delete the object. its not like i cant link duplicate the object again.
I just would like to know what i did to do that so as to avoid (or use) in the future
edit* deleting stopped it from doing (as it didnt exist anymore) so it was obviously something with this object.

What happens to a lot of students is that by using hot keys, some actions are immediately done. Notorious is the e extrude hotkey. When press a copy has been made on the same position. Even if you press ESC to cancel, it is already done. Having duplications.
- Check also your list of objects, and see if you have duplications (seen as -000, -001 numbers). See the image, Five cubes on the same spot.
