My external drive used to be auto-mounted with a certain name, and now it's auto-mounted with another name making links not working anymore

I use Xubuntu as my primary OS (just updated from Focal to Groovy to Hirsute, but the problem I'm going to describe popped up just before the update).

I have a 4Tb external storage that I use everyday since my internal hard disk is quite tiny.

This has been used to be mounted as /media/dario/Elements whenever I clicked on it in Thunar, but from a couple of days, it's mounted as /media/dario/Elements1 and that 1 makes all the software I use (like Thundebird or Transimission) unable to find references to past documents.

Now I can work around by mounting it by command line, which is what I'm currently doing, or I can even manually set up all my software again to look for Elements1, but there must be a way to make it mounted as Elements automatically by GUI, isn't it? Can you help me?

Thank you in advice

After 5 minutes I found the solution (since I wrote that I was mounting it by CLI, but I lied: I just was intending to do that).

There was a root-owned read-only directory called /media/dario/Elements, probably due to a system crash I had, that I removed with sudo rm -rf and everything came back to normal (i.e., now Thunar properly mounts my hard disk in /media/dario/Elements instead of /media/dario/Elements1). Hope this helped some other newbie.
