210 mm crank?

so i'm in the process of converting my hybrid into a single speed. i was measuring my crank and realized it is a 210 mm crank. that's pretty ridiculously long isn't it? what do i do? i was planning on just buying another crank aroun the 165-170mm range.

You measure it properly.

Center of pedals to center of cranks.
