Two sitemaps in Google Console

    I see two sitemaps in Google Console. One stars with http another with https. On side note, website uses SSL and redirect, so everything runs over https. I believe http sitemap is from the time the website was not secure, but the question is:

    Is it a problem to have these two sitemaps? If yes, is there a way to remove one of them. Currently it looks like this, but when you click on "Coverage" there as some discrepancies between the two:

    This is a new client, haven't seen anything like this before. All suggestions are really appreciated.

    I would delete the "http" sitemap if the site has a SSL certificate. Double check that there are no http url's still showing on the site as these would negatively affect the SEO.
