My Question or Issue

For a few years now, since I had an A70 my Spotify started showing me 2 extra SD cards that are part of the device storage, so it is pointless to change the storage location from the device storage to one of these "fake SD cards" because it is also the device storage; the annoying problem started when I install a real SD card:

It is recognized and I can select it as the storage location, but randomly it switches the storage location from the real SD card to one of the "fake SD cards" after a few hours, moving the downloads from the real SD card to the device storage again.

I have formatted the SD card and it does not change anything, I have factory reset my phone and it does not work either, I have changed my phone 3 times all these years, and the issue remains in each one, and the location where the SD cards supposed are located are inaccessible without rooting the phone.

How do I delete the extra 2 "fake SD cards"?

(In the attached photo, I show the 2 Sd cards, but there is no SD card installed on my phone).
