5000+ books in Calibre Library- EACH duplicated in directory- not in Calibre UI

Hi
I have a home network set-up wherein I have a windows PC serving as a media/ document server, which I connect through with my laptop etc. On the media server, I host my Calibre Library, which has in total 5060 books (some with multiple formats; making the actual file count to around 6000; collected over a 9 year period, some of which are rare books). I do not run a document server, but rather connect to the calibre library remotely (always ONLY a single instance running) on my laptop; and add books manually through the calibre interface.

The issue I am facing is this- that for EVERY single book in my library, even after removing duplicates from the Calibre UI; I have got a duplicate directory with all the 3 files- cover.jpg; .opf and the ebook itself.
I can't fathom how to correct this; and more importantly, ensure that the problem doesn't recur in future.
Any help towards this would be a great help, people.

many thanks in advance
regards
C
