Default Word Documentes appear in two locations

My computer (Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit, MS Office 2010) has just been upgraded, which entailed a full deletion and restart from scratch. Important documents were saved on a Seagate Free Agent external drive. Before the reload, Documents were stored on Disk C Libraries>Documents. They are now there again, but in addition they are now also in Disk C>Users>My Name>My Documents. The two sets of documents are complete, and effectively a mirror image of each other, so much so that amending either one in anyway is automatically reflected in the other e.g. deleting or amending a folder from one deletes/amends it immediately in the other.
When I want to open Documents I click on the Start Menu, then Documents. The one which opens is the one on Disk C>Libraries>Documents. The second one is ignored.
So I would be very grateful for advice on
(1) Which of the two positions are Documents supposed to be in?
(2) How can I eliminate one of them? At present deleting one of them would delete both at the same time.
There may be other questions I have not thought of. Any advice will be gratefully received.
James

Humble apologies - I have just spotted that I should have posted this question in the Word Forum. I have now done so.
