When i explor my computer, i noticed that i have 3 copies
of my documents in my computer. it shows up under my user
name. in my computer, it shows up next to my shared
folders. and under my desktop. the one under my desktop
and under my username are normal. however this one that
is in my computer next to my shared folder, isn't supposed
to be there. it comes up as my username's documents. i
was wondering how to delete it. Or, if this place where
the my documents are stored , takes up any additional
harddrive space. it seems to be a copy, but i was
wondering if possibly they might share the same common
files and it isn't copied.

thanks to whoever answers my message

There are no duplicates. All items lead to the same location and the same
files.
