I think in the tutorials I mention hiding or deleting your original curves so that they don't get in the way later on.

Some other people have definitely gotten confused by this same thing. But it isn't a very easy problem for me to solve.

I mean that curve is there because that's where you drew it to begin with... It didn't pop into existence automatically or anything like that.

The only way I can think of to solve this problem would be to try and remove that curve automatically when you perform the extrusion.

However, that is also prone to weird surprises, like if you want to move your object off to the side and edit the curve you drew to make a new extrusion, it wouldn't be there. And in this case it would be some automatic process kicking in and changing the model from what you drew... So that does not seem like a great option to me either.
