How can I get rid of duplicates from folder?

I have a HP Win 7 system that I bought in November 2009. I moved all the backed up files, I created a Vista system and saved on an external hard drive and put them in the appropriate in Win 7 folders. Along the way, about a month or two ago, the 'My music' folder decided to duplicate himself in the folder "my pictures." Anything to be added or removed from rehearsals in the other folder as well. I want to delete the one in "My pictures", such that it caused all kinds of freeze ups when you do something in there, caused by the activation of Windows Media Player to go online and search for updates file. This makes any process to become unusable as all the system waits for WMP let go of his prey. It must be the folder the file images who created this music. If I download a clean folder, empty, newly created, the problem does occur.

Also, when I try to delete one or the other, or move them, it gives a message stating: "the action cannot be performed because the file or the file is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again. »

Sometimes even if the Task Manager shows only one of them open at the time of the attempt to remove.
