I encountered a problem with my ToC using APA style. The title appears twice in the table. I tried several things, but I believe it is concerned with the use of the apa6 document class. Help would be greatly appreciated.

\documentclass[a4paper,man,natbib]{apa6}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[colorinlistoftodos]{todonotes}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[usestackEOL]{stackengine}
%excel2latex
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{booktabs}
%\usepackage{titlesec}
%\titleformat{\subsection}[runin]
  %{\normalfont\bfseries}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}

\title{\LARGE Example Title}

    Welcome to TeX.se. Can you make your document compilable, and remove any packages that aren't needed to show the problem. It will make it easier for people to help you. – Alan Munn Feb 08 '18 at 15:36

    As a side comment, the apa6 class is designed to meet the requirements for submitting to APA journals. It's probably not an appropriate class for a thesis. But you can add donotrepeattitle to the class options to remove the extra title. – Alan Munn Feb 08 '18 at 15:40

The apa6 document class is designed specifically to meet the requirements for submitting articles to APA journals. It's really not appropriate for a thesis. It's likely that you will end up having to undo many more things to make it usable as such, and you would be better of formatting your thesis using one of the standard classes plus titlesec or a complete class like memoir.

But the simple problem you have right now can be solved with a class option:

\documentclass[donotrepeattitle]{apa6}

Here's a complete minimal example:

\documentclass[a4paper,man,natbib,donotrepeattitle]{apa6}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\title{\Large Example Title}
\author{An author}
\abstract{Abstract}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

\tableofcontents

\end{document}

I've trimmed down your code to make a minimal example, and changed utf8x to utf8, since utf8x shouldn't be used. See utf8x vs. utf8 (inputenc).
