multiple copies in my documents folder
How can I get rid of all the copies of copies that are being created in
my documents folder? I had a project from work I brought home and had to scan about 100 pages on my printer in order to edit them in Word and now I not only have those pages but multiple copies of those pages. Everytime I try to delete them, more copies are being created. I have tried the methods that MS Windows has suggested but nothing is working. I need to get rid of all of them. I hope someone has a better solution that will actually work. |

If yes, this problem usually occurs because the hand isn't quite as steady as one would want. You're moving the files slightly as you drag and that is creating the extra copies. First lower the sensitivity of your mouse from the Mouse applet in Control Panel. Then change the way you delete. Either select files and then right-clickDelete or select files and use FileDelete. To select multiple contiguous files, highlight the first file in the series and then hold down the Shift key and highlight the last file in the series. All your desired files will be highlighted. Then use the right-click or File menu deletion procedure. To delete non-contiguous files, hold down the Ctrl key as you select.
