Canuck, I thought I did answer your question by providing the link to the screen shot of my file manager. It shows what the Documents folders contain. Maybe you were asking me which particular files (images, videos, etc.) were in each of the folders? I didn't think those particulars would matter. Sorry for the confusion. I did not mean to ignore answering your question.

I have plenty of patience. I'm obsessive-compulsive and hardly ever give up.

In any event, I finally solved the problem. My file manager is back the way I want it to be. There are no longer duplicate folders nor duplicate files. Neither did I lose anything I wanted to keep. Plus, I recovered many GB's of disk space, and a little bit of sanity. (big grin)
I want to thank each and everyone of you for using your time to help me. I appreciate it very much! Far more than you realize.
