If the images still remain on your USB device, delete all copies from your computer + do a copy again.

Copying 100 image files from a camera (using flashdrive) to a Folder on my desktop the following happened:<br />
Somehow or other the &nbsp;100 images ended up on my desktop (not the Folder). When I tried to move them into the Folder these 100 files began to copy themselves, with the result that my desktop has now almost 200 files, half of them copies. How do i sort out this situation (without losing the images from the camera flash drive).

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
