I want to remove the duplicates but i can not figure out how.

I tried with

var asd = richtextbox1.Text.Distinct().ToList()/ToArray();
foreach (string s in asd)
{
    richtextbox1.text = richtextbox1.text + s;
}

Tried some other pointless things but nothing helped, from this one i am getting some weird results.

I would suggest you do richtextbox1.Lines.Distinct().ToArray() and then assign it back

This will get you a List<string> of distinct values:

var distinctItems = richTextBox1.Lines.Distinct().ToList();

Notice we're using the Lines property of your RichTextBox. The Lines property returns the contents of your RichTextBox as an array of strings with each line as an element in the array.

When you to .Text, you get the whole text in a string, not a list of words. Split the words up first and then .Distinct() will work.

You could have noticed this simply by stepping through your code in the debugger.
