file management

[Guest]

I renamed a folder originally supplied under My Computer to "Roger's
Documents". I started to put all the files I created in this folder. But each
time I created or put a file in Roger's Documents folder the same file
appeared in My Documents folder. Now EVERY action I take on Roger's Documents
folder is reflected in My Documents folder and vice versa. If I delete a file
from Roger's Documents folder that duplicate file is also deleted from My
Documents folder, if I modify a file in one folder it is immediately modified
the same in the other folder. Incidentally, there is no option to rename the
Roger's Documents folder. By this time I've got a huge amount of bytes using
up a huge amount of disk space because a big folder is being automatically
duplicated. How can I get rid of either Roger's Documents or My Documents??
I've tried everything I can think of. Please help.

The documents are not being duplicated. It is two different ways of
accessing the same files. It's hard to say more without knowing exactly
what you did.
