Put . ~/.bashrc and now prompts 2 files to edit indefinitely

I am a beginner Ubuntu user: I ran the command . ~/.bash_aliases and now anytime I open Ubuntu on my windows laptop, it reads 2 files to edit, opens each of the files and I press quit every time to get back to the command line. I would initially be back in the command line, but would be brought back to edit the tiles indefinitely until I closed the prompt. Closing the prompt and reopening it, it would make me edit the 2 files and then let me go back to the command line.
How do I stop Ubuntu from doing this?
Edit: There is nothing in the bash_aliases file, I moved all the content to the bashrc file.
This is the contents of the bashrc file:
BASE16_SHELL=$HOME/.config/base16-shell/
[ -n "$PS1" ] && [ -s $BASE16_SHELL/profile_helper.sh ] && eval "$($BASE16_SHELL/profile_helper.sh)"
export PS1="e[95mwe[0m$ "
alias ls="ls --color=auto"
alias update="sudo apt-get install"
alias compile=". ~/.bashrc"
alias alias="vi ~/.bash_aliases"
alias thiscomp="cd /mnt/c/Users/name/Documents"
bashrc

Delete the line:
alias alias="vi ~/.bash_aliases"
Also probably delete the line:
alias compile=". ~/.bashrc"

@hello1094 Don't delete~/.bashrc. There is no need to source it, it is automatic when you open a terminal window.

The existing alias will stay in place if you resource.bashrc. Close the terminal and reopen it.
