Q: Duplicates of applications
Hello !
Today my younger brother created multiple duplicates of all OS X Applications ( ex safari , calendar , notes etc ) .
I entered in recovery mode to reset the password , ran SMC , safe mode .....etc but no avail .
Is this issue is due to malware in the system ?
And my brother school examinations are still going on and the important data ( solutions for subject math , physics ) are stored , so i don't want to delete the data by any means .
It's confusing as we don't what to do .
Any suggestions will be really helpful .
Thanks !
NOTE : Using mac book air 10.11.6

It do work with copy i'll right click on safari.app.alias.copy and click to show original the highlighter in navy blue color will automatically shift to original safari.app .
You are not clicking on a copy of the app. You are clicking on a copy of an alias. two different things. Not sure why I'm explaining this but to show you what I said…
Right click on the Calculator.app, select Duplicate. That will create "Calculator copy.app". Right click on the copy and choose "Make Alias". Right click on the alias, chose "Show Original and it will highlight the copy. For that matter, right click on the copy and Show Original will not be available.
