[OS X Emacs] scratch and scratch <2>

Yes, the second scrath clearly has to do with my command:
(desktop-save-mode 1)
is there any way to get the desktop saved but not get this problem?

Should I perhaps delete my desktop.el file to restart it in case it  
got somehow corrupted (I do not know where it is).
