Hi KC, I think this question was raised already many times about it. The binaries in <sysroot>/bin are user-executables and you should use only this one. That those binaries in your <sysroot>/bin directory have prefix 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-', indicates that you are using a cross-compiler.
The binaries in <sysroot>/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin are internal binaries of toolchain. They are normally identical to those in <sysroot>/bin with different names. You have not to call/use them directly. And also important: don't add <sysroot>/x86_64-w64-mingw32 to PATH. Those binaries are necessary, even if you don't call them directly, so don't remove them!
