This has been discussed here several times. Removing them is not
trivial, and IMHO it is better just to ignore them, or at least to
remove them from the display.
I think they can make sense for a computer with multiple users, or
one that is linked in a network where there is a lot of content
sharing.
I can see - if I've understood how they work correctly, that is - that
they have application in the librarian's perennial problem of things
that can go under two or more headings. If I had a folder for guitar
music and another for classical music, and I have some classical guitar
music, then without libraries I'd either have to decide which one to put
it in, or store two copies. Similarly with pictures - if I have a
picture containing several people, and folders for each of those people
(more so if I also have a folder for the place it was taken, ...)

"You realise, Fraser, that what happened between us can never repeat itself.
Unless, of course, the exact same circumstances were to repeat themselves." "By
exact same circumstances, sir, you mean: we would have to be aboard a train
loaded with unconscious Mounties, that had been taken over by terrorists, and
were heading for a nuclear catastrophe?" "Exactly." "Understood."
