Nope no idea whatsoever, never experienced nor saw anything similar.
They appear to be identical 11.7 gigabyte "partitions" of the computer manufacturer's recovery partition.
Do they also show up the same in Disk Management?
Right click the start button and select Disk Management.

Thanks for answering my call for help, In disk management on a 200mb SSD, "c" shows two Recovery Partitions, 1 is 25Gb, 2 is 463 Mb. I want to be sure I won't stuff things up if I delete all the copies. They were gradually created during normal computer useage, and didn't all appear at the same time. Got me beat!

Can you take a snip of your disk management utility resizing columns and such as so everything is visible, like this.....

My grandson was able to solve the problem. Apparently the folders were created by cloning by my laptop manufacturers program. (ASUS)

Well..... that's good news.
Thanks for the update, glad to hear that you (and your grandson) were able to resolve your issue.
