I have just done a search for cloned files and I have come up with some files in multiply locations.

c:\Users\xxx\Pictures\xxxx
c:\Users\xxx\My Documents\My Pictures\xxxx
c:\Users\xxx\Documents\My Pictures\xxxx

c:\Users\xxx\Music\xxxx
c:\Users\xxx\My Documents\My Music\xxxx
c:\Users\xxx\Documents\My Music\xxxx

c:\Users\xxx\My Documents\My Completed Downloads
c:\Users\xxx\Documents\My Completed Downloads\xxxx

c:\Users\xxx\Local Settings\Application Data\...
c:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\...

I have Windows Vista.

Not sure what I can delete other than images that I know about etc

I know that I shouldn't have the 'my...' folders is there anyway I can delete the folder instead of having to delete each file individually?

Its bit of a scary area when you ask support what User Data you can delete
Best to always make backups (ideally externally to another drive or a DVD or something)
Then just delete any/all data that you do not require on your computer (assuming you are the only user)

well anything 'local settings' etc I'm leaving. The others I've figured out which folders I have, the others don't even come up with a search.

EDIT: it's my home laptop.
