Extra Pin Names on Custom Device

I created a custom part for a TFT display (see attached .lbr), but the device has two sets of pin names for some reason and I don't know how to get rid of the extras. How can I do this?

This is because you have used the pin (function) names to label the pads on the package. The names inside the symbol box are pin names, the ones on the outside are the pad numbers, but you've used the same names for both. You should label the pads with the numbers used in the package definition in the datasheet. In the rare case where the datasheet doesn't number the package pads, then you can turn off the visibility of pad numbers on the pins in the symbol.
