    Allen. Have you tried copying the duplicate Library & those items listed in it to a flash drive & then delete them. If that fixes the problem you can delete the copy in the flash drive.If it also deletes the other Library as well then you have a back up you cam reinstall.

    Paul Black, Ranger4, the duplicate Libraries is a virtual link and cannot be deleted.
    The sub-folders are mirror of the originals. Deleting them simply resulted in them disappearing from both places.
