===============================
The ones that say...copy of xxxxx.jpg...are
generated when you try to multiple select.

It happens occasionally to most anyone who
is trying to multiple select by holding the Ctrl
or Shift key while left clicking to select the
image files.

The copies are created when you fail to
completely release the mouse button before
you move the pointer to another file. If a group
of selected files is dragged...even the slightest
bit...releasing the mouse button will produce
copies of all the previously highlighted files.

A search for copy of should find the unwanted
copies so you can delete them.
