While editing nodes new lines added? solved!

I figured it out!!! there was a copy under it!!!

I have a drawing i took to inkscape, traced bit map, then noticed that when i try to edit the nodes new lines get added OR the node picks up and randomly moves, but not like it is being drug on the line. if i put this back to full black you can still see the new and old lines.
I have watched a bunch of videos and never seen this explained. Anyone know what i’m doing wrong? thanks Becky

if I am not mistaken you have double layers…zoom in real close…you might find 2 layers…
if you highlite/select the entire picture…break apar and ungroup…

then get to the select mode…above the one you are in…click on an object and hit delete…you might find the second layer behind…if it deletes the whole part just use crtl z to go back a step…

Thanks Glen, yes I somehow made a copy and did not even know I did it! One more step forward!
