I did the dir c:\ and it shows both Program Files and Program Files (86) As I expected. Please have a look inside them. The one ending (x86) is definitely necessary to be there but I can imagine that the other one's existence is a simple accident... If so, then you should remove it. Perhaps you have installed a few apps into it. I suggest you consider to reinstall them to the other folder in order to avoid even more confusion later on.
Maybe you shouldn't be so hasty, from what I can see on my Windows 7, both Program Files and its (x86) variant are real folders, one is for 64-bits applications while the other contains all the applications that are still in 32 bits, I don't think it's a good idea to just delete one...
