Problem solution: Duplicate my files on Windows 10
The duplicate folder is a system image of the "correct" folder.
- This image is important for the system and should therefore neither be edited nor deleted.
- The image can be easily hidden so that you always have an overview.
- To do this, go to "Explorer Options" in the Control Panel and open the "View" tab.
- Place a checkmark next to "Hide protected system files" and "Hide hidden files, folders or drives".
- Save the process with "OK" so that the changes take effect. Then you should restart your PC.
