When moving a email to subfolder a hidden Inbox appears

Under my work account i have multiple sub folders. If i try to move an email to one of the sub folders, it will pull up the search box asking what folder i want it to move to. I type in a sub folder and two options appear: my real work sub folder -> xxxx\inbox\(sub folder i wanted)  and  a second option appears under the "On My Computer" account -> On My Computer\INBOX (note: this is displayed in all caps)\(the sub folder i typed in). This second option is not real. There is no INBOX under the On My Computer account and definitely no sub folders. 

This being said, it will not show anything when the inbox/send/draft/deleted items are separated by account. If the settings are changed in the general preferences to group all folders under each category then out of no where the (all caps) INBOX appears with the sub folders it says it has. This would be great if i could delete it or remove the account attached to it but it does not give the option to delete it and there is no account attached to it. 

We moved to office 365 in June and it seems that this hidden mailbox is an exact copy of my work mailbox with all subfolders being the exact same and all emails inside are the same but the hidden INBOX does not have any mail after we transferred to office 365. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove this second INBOX from my account or at least hide it so it does not give it as a option when i try to move my emails? 

I apologize if this does not seem clearly visualize my issue at hand.
