New network interface called 'lo' created out of nowhere, can't delete

I was having some issues with ethernet on my pc (Intel I225-V Ethernet controller), where when I woke it from sleep the connection wouldn't work at all. I tried deleting the default `enp6s0` and making a new one from the KDE network settings. There were some issues with another default one being created automatically but I turned off autoconnect on that one and it seemed to be fine.
The other day after I -Syu'd and restarted, there was a new listing in the menu called "lo". Trying to delete it through KDE network manager gives me "Error checking authorization: connection was deleted", but it gets deleted anyway. It then creates itself again immediately.
`nmcli connection delete id lo` says `Connection 'lo' (79406c38-92e6-448b-97c7-32ef75d42b8a) successfully deleted.` but the same thing happens. The connection doesn't even do anything it sits at 0kbps constantly while my enp6s0 gives me internet lol.
Any help would be great.
