DNS problem event ID 4515 the zone (mydomain) was previously loaded..

hello, i am getting this error on my event log and i cant figure out why...

here is what the message says

The zone (mydomain).local was previously loaded from the directory partition MicrosoftDNS but another copy of the zone has been found in directory partition DomainDnsZones.(mydomain).local. The DNS Server will ignore this new copy of the zone. Please resolve this conflict as soon as possible.
 
If an administrator has moved this zone from one directory partition to another this may be a harmless transient condition. In this case, no action is necessary. The deletion of the original copy of the zone should soon replicate to this server.
 
If there are two copies of this zone in two different directory partitions but this is not a transient caused by a zone move operation then one of these copies should be deleted as soon as possible to resolve this conflict.
 
To change the replication scope of an application directory partition containing DNS zones and for more details on storing DNS zones in the application directory partitions, please see Help and Support.

I saw the link, but how can I determine which Zone I want to delete? What would be the consequences of removing the wrong one ? Thanks
The forestzone location is the most efficient but if you have a single domain it doesn't really make any difference, you just need to work out which one is the most upto date and remove the other.
