Extra displays popping up

So, I have a dual monitor setup running on Windows 10 Pro. But when I go to Display Settings, it shows that I have 4 monitors total, meaning I have two invisble monitors. My cursor can go off the screen to them, but they hold my apps that I have organized, and are not there. How do I make it so there are only monitors 1 and 2, and delete monitors 3 and 4?

There should be an option in that Display settings to highlight the monitor and delete it (or disable, I don't recall the exact wording)

Yeah, I've been looking for something like that for a while now, but I don't think thats an option, or maybe I just am not good at looking lmao.

Unfortunately I can't help with the exact places for that, since I am not running win10 with ghost displays, but under my OS (windows 9) there is an option under "screen resolution" to highlight the display and the last option is a drop down box that says "Multiple Displays" and one of the options is "Disconnect this display"

I know yours is Windows 9, but can you still show me where the Multiple Displays option is? 10 might have something similar I just cant find.
