Multiple "My Documents"

I am running WindowsXP on a Presario 6000.
In Windows Explorer I have three 'My Documents' folders in
three different places. One at My Computer--My Documents.
One at My Computer--C:--Documents & Settings--Owner--My
Documents. One at My Computer--C:--VJRs Documents.
They are all the same. If I make changes to one, it changes
in all three. This prevents me from deleteing two of them.
I have also tried to move the files to the main 'My
Documents' folder, but it says they can't be moved because
they are the same.
Along with Program Files, 'My Documents' is probably my
largest file. Having three of them is eating a lot of HD space.
How can I get rid of two of the Documents files without
losing the third? Which is the "right" one to keep?
 
Right-click any of the folders, properties, find target. You will see they are
referring to the same folder.
Do a search on your computer for "my documents".
