Duplicate files on my HD

Hi All,
Please could I have your help to understand the following?

I have spent time today deleting stuff of my hard disk. I used the Windows XP search function to identify any duplicate files....I found about 2gb of duplicated music! Everything had been triplicated. This really confuses me because when I go into My Music I only see one of everything. I also know that some of the albums have only been burnt to the HD once......so how come the triplication :confused:

    No they all seem to have the same paths.

    The only possible thing I can think of is my that my MP3 software (Creative Jukebox) is causing it.

    I've now cleared about 4gb!
