Common problem seen in these newsgroups. You are (unintentionally) moving
the mouse at the wrong moment when selecting the pictures. Windows is
interpreting that movement as a request to create a new copy.

Suggestion: To delete, click to select a file. Then press Delete on the
keyboard. If selecting multiple files next to each other in a list:
carefully click on first file. Release mouse button (do *not* move mouse
until button is fully released). Press and hold Shift on keyboard. Click
last file in list. Release key and mouse button. Press Delete on keyboard.
