Visual Studio 2017 duplicate install

I installed Visual Studio 2017 Professional on Windows 10. Then using the installer I saw that VS 2017 Enterprise was "available" so I installed it. Now all of VS (Blend, VS, etc.) are duplicated in the start menu. I would like to be able to remove the duplicate entries in the start menu but I don't seem to have that option. Does anyone know how to remove all of the "...(2)" entries in the start menu? And related why does VS installer create these duplicate entries?

Right click on the duplicate item in the start menu > more > go to file location. There will be shortcuts titled the same as the items on your start menu, just delete the shortcuts and your start menu will reflect instantly.

Or goto : C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

and remove them directly
