Are you trying to delete the tracks through i-tunes? Delete them directly from your harddrive through "My Computer".

Yes, but when you are deleting them, are you deleting them through i tunes, or directly off the drive?

Itunes probably knows both locations of the file so when you tell it you want to delete the track, it's deleting them both. Not being a user of Itunes, I'm not sure how to stop it doing that, but if you delete the files you don't want directly from your harddrive instead, it should solve your problem.
