Again only one screen monitor

Probably check this file:

~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml

Display Configurations are saved there. It is safe to be removed and will be recreated at login.

Honestly I have no idea why you see the monitor there. I would assume it should be hidden.

EDIT: A reboot doesn’t remove the None-2-1 ?

You can always try and delete it:

xrandr --delmonitor None-2-1

Note:
I have no idea if this will break anything and don’t take responsibility for anything bad happen8in.

Hmmm…I don’t really know xrandr that well, so I might5 have guessed the name wrong. You can try:

xrandr --delmonitor Monitor-4

Same disclaimer as above applies.

My official answer then:

:man_shrugging:

Probably need to remove ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml:

mv ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml.backup

Same disclaimer as above applies.

Done!
Still the same. This is the situation just after removing the XML file and rebooting:
