several copies of my pictures in my picture file.

I tried deleting some of the pictures in my picture file and ended up with a
bunch of copies of the ones I was trying to delete. What causes that? How do
I get rid of them without getting more copies?

 

[JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]]

No clue. Are they the same file format?

 

[mammamoon]

yes. I had picture files and then wanted to clean some of them out. When I
deleted them I ended up with a copy of the same file in my folder. Maybe I
deleted them incorrectly?

It's hard to delete something incorrectly. What I meant was are you sure
they were copies of the files rather than .jpg and .gif with the same name?

Would you care to enlighten me exactly what this has to do with Office...?

 

[JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]]

How were you deleting them?

When you select a file with the mouse, don't move the mouse while the button
is down, this is seen as dragging and will copy everything that has been
selected.

If you use ctrl to select the photos, if you move the images, even slightly, they
will copy. Select the images using ctrl, right-click, delete.
