How do i remove multiple favorite folders?

Hi everyone i am having a heck of a time removing multiple folders from my IE9 favorites. I reimported my current favorites from Firefox and i have multiple folders that i cannot erase. They initially are removed, but upon restarting IE they reappear at the bottom of the favorites. See first screenshot

I have right clicked on them when i open the favorites tab and erased them, and i have opened "organize favorites" and clicked on them in the dialog box and then both right clicked and hit erase, and/or clicked the erase button. See second screen shot.

And third some say they are shared- they were folders marked "favorites" within the favorites tab. They were empty and i renamed them Fred and Ginger. When i try to delete them they open two dialog boxes and it never deletes them nor finishes the task. See third screen shot

Hey Shawn, that rocks!!!! Word to ur momma!!

As a primary Firefox user i don't normally have direct access to my favorites like that. In FF they are stored in .json files, which i can't open.

It would be cool, if say after a few months, as my favorites change, that i could click on a favorites folder in FF, and right click > copy it and past it in that same IE favorites folder, then i could go in and delete the original, dated one.

Ahhhh, now i see why i had multiple folders!!
I thought i had re-imported the favorites in the past, and they overwrote the previous ones. Guess i was mistaken.
