The text file is at two places at the same time, but only one is real.

The text file appears to be at two places at the same time, but only the real one (non-expanded area), is fully interactible.

More illusory duplicates.

This happened when I used Dolphin to delete one of two files on the expanded desktop area.

We need to delete the feature to allow the desktop to be scrollable; it's just too buggy and weird.

If it's going to be deleted, then I'll need to think another way of making the user aware that the Desktop became expanded, so the user don't get confused with items "missing" on the opposite corner.

You are not referring to being able to use "selection mode" while scrolling as an actual intended feature, right?
Because if that's the case, then I wrongly marked the Bug 496506 as duplicate of this one, because I thought you were referring to the scrollbar itself.

Are you still seeing this in Plasma 6.3 or later?

Nope.
