This will happen when you select pictures with the Ctrl of Shift key down
and you do not release the button from your mouse after you select a file.
So, do it this way.
Click on the first file, remove your finger from the button, move the
pointer over the next file you want, hold the Ctrl key down and click on the
file. Remove your finger from your mouse button and move the pointer over
the next file you want, etc.
If you do not remove your finger from the mouse button after you click on a
file and you move the pointer, you make copies.
 
In attempting to delete photos from My Pictures, they recopied themselves so
that I have ended up with thousands of pictures. I have moved all the
pictures off (they were in folders) except these. I attempted to delete the
whole folder, but it won't let me. How can I prevent them from replicating
themselves and delete?
 
Thank you so much. This is working. I am going slowly so it will take a
while. But I see the light at the end of the tunnel!
