I'm sorry, this is likely a silly question but I can't seem to find
the answer. I'm working on setting up my first SSL certificate. I'm
using a Docker container of Nginx Proxy Manager, Godaddy DNS and
attempted to set up a Let's Encrypt wildcard certificate using a DNS
challenge.

I ran into a few minor issues, including some timeouts. I had the
propagation seconds set to a whopping 900 seconds per the GoDaddy
plugin's recommendation. I submitted and came back 15 minutes later to
find I have two certificates installed.

none of the guides reference this as a possibility, so I'm just
wondering if I should just delete one, and if it matters which one I
delete.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!

One of the time outs may inadvertently worked hence giving you two,
assuming identical certificates.  Deleting either one shouldn't be an
issue.

did you bind one of them to any host? If not you can delete any of
them, then use the other one.

I was in your situation and deleted the wrong one. After that when
started NPM give me an error. I had to change the folder name of the
certificates in order to solve it. (You can see where NPM is looking
for in the npm logs.

How this help you if you delete the wrong one.
