These come from your Forest definitions. You will find them as the "Data Directory" field in the Admin GUI under Forests. ML doesn’t change the values you type in. This is true on all OS' s but more evident in windows because of case insensitive names, and mixed conventions for \ vs / (ML accepts both). Usually it’s a mistake to use different equivalent values but not always, there are good cases where you might want to use separate names even if they refer to the same directory or volume, such as using symbolic links so you can move the data around later without reconfiguring. In the server the actual volume associated with the directory is known, but this is not used to consolidate the display. There are common cases where using the OS level volume ID is misleading such as network attached storage, logical volumes, HDFS etc. The server accommodates these issues (possibility of different paths referring to the same physical volume or directory) by keeping all Forest ID's unique, and by using the Forest name as a containing directory.
To fix this you will need to be careful, the admin GUI won't let you change the directory name of a forest after its created. If this is a critical production system then I recommend contacting support for help on fixing this on a live system. For a non critical system do this. Take note of your exact directory names and forest names as they are currently configured. Stop the server and *MAKE A BACKUP* of your data directories and the marklogic configuration directory. Disable the database and the forests and detach the forests from the database Delete the old forests, but make sure to select the "Configuration Only" option (it's on the delete confirmation page) Recreate new forests using exactly the same name (case, spelling identical as before). Double checkin your filesystem for how the directory names for the forests are used, in the Forests subdirectory of the data directory. For the Data directory pick a consistent case and / usage and use it exactly the same for all forests in that directory and create a forest for each. The system will detect the old data and use it. Then attach the new forests to your database and enable the database and forests. You should be good to go. Note that this will have assigned new forest IDs and you should do a fresh marklogic backup. If you need help for a critical or production system contact marklogic support.

In the below screenshot you'll see that for some reason the Dashboard shows the same directory twice, and even with different values for each. As you'll notice we're running this on Windows, and apparently, the dashboard considers these two different 'expressions' to be different directories.
