The duplicate location was likely created when your ID was migrated from smartthings to Samsung. It happens.

The televisions may not work in the older location. The advice from support is normally to move everything from the old location to the new location that was automatically created for the Samsung ID. That does not mean that you have to re-– pair your devices. You just have to move them in the IDE from one location to the other.

> To move devices from one Location to another, you must move all devices from the initial Location to the new one, including the SmartThings Hub. The devices will continue to be connected to the SmartThings Hub. This may be useful if you decide to move your existing SmartThings Hub and devices to a Location that already has non-SmartThings devices connected to it, such as an appliance or a television.

Once the original location is empty, then you can follow the advice to change it to default equals false, and then delete it.

This particular variation of this problem only occurs if you have a Samsung television or appliance.

> The issues The following are some issues experienced by users after migrating from a SmartThings account to Samsung account or by users who have previously added Samsung Appliances and TVs to the Samsung app/account before they had migrated their SmartThings account. Note: Samsung can implement this migration without you realizing it. They don’t send a notification before or after the actual migration event. Devices are missing in the Classic app. Hub/Devices are missing in the Classic app and you are prompted for the Welcome Code to add the hub. Devices do not appear when you login to the SmartThings (Samsung Connect) app (STSC). Two duplicate locations in IDE and unable to delete the empty one. Hub and most devices are in one Home Location and Samsung Appliances and TVs are in another…
