I have multiple entries in my docunents and setting directory. Is there a way
to deduce which ones are neccessary?

From a command prompt;
echo %userprofile%
will reveal the one you're using. (if that's what you mean)

Thanks for that info.
What about all of the other directories? I have the following:
All users.winnt
All users
Default user
Default user.winnt
Annas doll house
Anna's doll house
Can I delete any of this without disrupting Windows?

Appears you did an in-place upgrade or ran a repair install.

These are operating system entries

| All users.winnt
| All users
| Default user
| Default user.winnt

while these ones were user-created. These two can safely be deleted
(assuming you don't need any of the contents)

| Annas doll house
| Anna's doll house
