Conda creates two environments when using conda create

First time asking a question. New to conda as well. TL;DR When I create a new conda environment, two directories/environments are made in the miniforge3\envs directory.

I've installed miniforge3 for windows_x86-64 to start working on some python projects. Playing around a bit, I made a environment named TEMP using

conda create -n TEMP python=3.12 -c conda-forge

Later, I deleted that env using

conda env remove --name TEMP

When I listed the envs, TEMP was no longer showing (as expected). Now, I've created a new env named temp with the same command as before. Unexpectedly, when I list the envs, two environments appear in the \minforge3\envs directory:

  1. \miniforge3\envs\TEMP
  2. \miniforge3\envs\temp

I can activate either environment, and when I delete one environment, both are removed from the miniforge3\envs directory

I doubt this is expected behavior. Can you for see any issues arising from this? Any ideas as to why this is happening?
