How do I reduce two Keeper Folders to one?
I have a Keeper Folder, with many sub-Folders, in which I save some received Emails. I have one Email Account. Under the listings shown on the Left Hand Panel in TB under my Email Account, the Keepers Folders is last in the list. However, below that is Local Folders. There is also a Keepers Folder in its list. However, the two Keepers Folders are not duplicates. How do I merge the two together? And second, how do I delete the unwanted Keepers Folder? I am reluctant to just right-click one of the folders and Delete it fearing TB might Delete both! That's not what I want.

They are 2 different folders in two different locations. Deleting one has nothing to do with the other one.

Decide which one of the folders you want to keep. Move the messages out of the other one and delete the empty folder.
A Keeper folder is not a standard folder used by Thunderbird. It would have been created by you.
I created a Keeper folder under my Local Folders and move messages there. The only disadvantage of folders under Local Folders is that it is local to that computer and cannot be viewed from other devices if using IMAP email. The advantage is that it is local to your computer and not subject to any retention rules enforced by your provider.
It will be up to you to make backups of your Local Folders since the only place they exist is on your local hard drive.
I have Keepers Folders which I created at different times, but for the same purpose to retian some emails for future use. One is listed in the column of the left hand panel under my email address and one is listed in the same panel under Local Folders. If I delete one, wil the other also be deleted? Simply because it has the same name.

The reason I asked such an apparently dumb question is because I have done things before than appeared to me to be reasonable in TB, and other software, only to be astonished at an unexpected result. Thankis for your help. I hope you are right.
