I have loaded Windows 7 to my laptop. Before doing this I backed up all my pictures using the Picasa backup utility. I then ran a restore on the clean Windows 7 install. I then installed Picasa 3.5 and none of the people tags showed up.
I then went and deleted what I thought was the Picasa DB and then tried running the restore again. Now each folder shows up twice in Picasa but only once under the Windows Pictures folder.
How do I get rid of the duplicates in Picasa and get my people tags back?

Since you are so early in the process, I would probably opt for re-doing the restoration rather than trying to "fix" the duplicates. Just to avoid any potential side effects.
