tree question--duplication

It is VERY easy to inadvertently duplicate folders using
drag-and-drop. If you can satisfy yourself that the number
of files, sizes of each file, and dates of the files are
exactly the same, use WINZIP or something to make a
compressed copy of it and then delete it. Check for
hidden files too.

Good Luck !
