Why has my windows vista PC created lots of "desktop" folders?

http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee201/Deo_91/TooManyDesktops.jpg So my folders currently look like this... I think I may have accidental copied the original desktop folder into documents... Although the desktop still works normally, I now have these additional empty folders within folders. They are all empty! If i delete them all, when I click the desktop, an error message appears saying the file location has not been found, but it will still display the desktop normally anyway! Very annoying! Any way I can fix this even though its not "vitally" important? Thanks

Having tried to delete all but one (as suggested) windows returns me with this error message... http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee201/Deo_91/TooManyDesktopsErrorMessage.jpg Clicking "try again" returns the same meassage. The desktop will still load correctly.

Just delete the additional folders, but leave one. It will say not found cause it's deleted. Desk top will open anyways, to display all file in the hard drive section. If they keep reappearing, I suggest you run a virus check with what you have got. And I spyware check, if you firewall has it. But just delete the ones you don't need first, then take it from there, thats what i'll do.
