Hello.
In AbanteCart admin, search for "( Copy )", select all, and remove. Direct database edits are strongly discouraged.

the problem is not on admin side, there is nothing in products side panel, it is in the database. I'm getting this information when we are exporting products information from database information to website AI Assistant bot, bot retrieving these information from product id table

Hello.
Products may also be missing from Admin if cache is outdated, or if the product is not assigned to the store view you are checking.

Those names are stored in the product description table. To check them in the database, use your own AbanteCart table prefix from system/config.php (DB_PREFIX) and run
SELECT name
FROM prefix_product_descriptions
WHERE name LIKE '%( Copy )%';

but it is unsafe to delete only from product_descriptions, because products are linked across several tables.
