I have approximately 2,000 image files on Skydrive.  After updating to Windows 8.1 this afternoon,  Skydrive began to duplicate every file in my Skydrive folder, appending it with the name of my computer.  For example, in addition to the original file named IMG001.jpg which was uploaded a year ago, I also have a copy of it named IMG001-WIN8.jpg on both Skydrive and my PC   The vast majority are photographs that have NOT been edited or changed in any way.  I also have on a laptop which has not been updated to 8.1 yet.  I'm afraid to, lest I get a third set of copies with the LAPTOP label.


- Is there a reason why this is happening?

- How can it be prevented in the future?

- If I delete the duplicates from Skydrive and/or my PC will they just keep coming back?
