How are you trying to delete them? Are you trying to highlight them by
holding CTRL and clicking on each one to highlight a group? Or perhaps
SHIFT-click top and bottom? Are you then trying to drag to the recycle bin?
You could be moving your mouse ever so slightly in the highlighting process,
which makes Windows think you are dragging them to a new location, and since
the mouse never left "My documents", it create a "copy of" copy of those
highlighted files. You may need to have a steadier hand, or delete them one
at a time by clicking on one file just once, then hitting the Delete key on
your keyboard. Time-consuming a tedius at this point, but it should get rid
of them for you.

When I tried to delete about 20 files in my "my documents", instead of
dissappearing, they copied themselves and attached to the end of the list. I
tried to delete those and again, and again they copied themselves and I now
have a few hundred files. What do I do? How can I get rid of these files?
