I have a graphics folder where I have many sub folders dividing my graphics
into categories. It's all very nice and organized. However, I also have a
folder that has the same subfolders dividing the same graphics. If I delete
one set of graphic folders the other one also gets deleted and the same
happens if I delete just one graphic. I can't figure out if I'm actually
using double space - there's nothing that tells me one is a shortcut
(although shortcuts don't delete originals). Oh... and one of the folders
has folder upon folder upon folder before you get to the actual grahpics.
How do I get rid of this?

Most likely what you are seeing is due to Vista "trickery" called
junction points. Do NOT delete. While it appears to be duplication, it
isn't really.
