How do I stop my Nokia Lumia 520 from making extra copies of my photos?

So I took a photo and when I went to view it I saw 4 of the same photo.. I recently changed my memory card and that started happening..! I connected my phone to the laptop an i only saw one photo.. I can't even delete one of the copies it deletes all..!!

Hold Vol- & Pwr until the device shuts down
When the device vibrates and starts to reboot, release ONLY Pwr button, still holding the Vol-
When you see the (!) on your screen, then release the Vol- button
Immediately, in sequence, tap Vol+, Vol-, Pwr, Vol-
The device will show gears and begin wiping the device to a factory restored version.
Device will reboot.
Your device is now soft reset
