Is it worth re-indexing the files ?

Do you get a duplicate if you simply create a file?
Also, do you know when this started, had you installed anything new at the time?
If the above is true are you able to return to a restore point?
I have created a .txt file just now and no duplicate has shown.
The problem has appeared over a while: I cannot recall anything new installed or removed to cause.

Did you ever run a restore from a backup?

@VileReynard Not as I can remember.
@Champnet I don't understand, what re-indexing would do- be for.

Viewing lists of files most applications are reading the indexes otherwise you'd be waiting ages for reading, sorting & presentation. If the indexes are corrupt then you will see strange results. Won't do any harm to re-build the indexes.
Is it obvious I'm from a database background ?

@Champnet I'm from a debased background!
TBH I'm not technically sure on rebuilding an index, as a tech rocking horse.
