You are getting the copies because you're moving the mouse slightly
while doing it. Turn down the sensitivity of your mouse from the Mouse
applet in Control Panel. To remove the undesired folders, left-click on
the first one in the series and, while holding down the Shift key,
left-click on the last one in the series. This will select everything
in between. Now, since you have a bit of trouble with your mousing
steadiness, go to the File menu and left-click on Delete.
