You've probably "set content" on some of your file folders and they got scanned into the library:
Adding videos to the library (wiki)
See specifically:
Adding videos to the library/Updating or removing videos (wiki) for removing them from the library. When there are no items in the library, those options disappear.

Thank you artrafael! I can't go past step 1.
I open xbmc
hover my mouse on Videos
I see Movies ---- Files ----- Library ----- Addons (I want to remove Movies & Library and just keep the other 2)
I click on Files & see the following:
Movies
Recently Added Movies
Add Videos...
Playlists
Video Addons
At this stage I'm lost!!!
but I've highlighted Movies then pressed "c" on my keyboard, but all I get is:
Play
Add to favorites
Mark as Unwatched
....
Update Library
I don't get the content menu!
Thanks Again...

Sorry, I updated my post while you were composing your reply. I've added two more questions. Can you please post the options you see for questions 2 & 3 as well? Thanks.

Thanks artrafael! That did it! Note that now I only have 2 sub menus under Videos (File & Add-ons)/ When I click on them though, they both have the same menus (I should emphasize that that's at the root directory of these sub-menus). They both have:
Add Videos...
Playlists
Video Addons
Also I'm still unable to see get to the context menu!!! I'm not sure if that's normal for this skin or not, but I now have only 2 submenus which I wanted to see under Videos!
Thanks for your help!

I think we're on the same page regrading the fact that when I click Add-ons submenu I see the list of all my installed addons. On the top of that list there is ".." when i click on that it takes me to the root dir which shows:
Add Videos...
Playlists
Video Addons
And this is true for Files sub-menu as well...it also shows the list of add-ons I have and when I go one level higher (by clicking on ".." on top), it takes me to the same place as the Add-ons, which I think is WRONG! It is as if both the Add-ons and Files sub-menus are copies of each other!!!
Now back to your question about "virtualshares", I've located the "advancedsettings.xml" file, opened it using an xml editor, and I don't see an entry for "virtualshares".
-------------------------------
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<autodetectpingtime>30</autodetectpingtime> <!-- Tiempo en segundos entre pings para detectar nuevas xbox. Por defecto 30, minimo 1, maximo 240 -->
<curlclienttimeout>60</curlclienttimeout> <!-- Timeout en segundos para el reproductor (y otras conexiones). Por defecto 10, minimo 1, maximo 1000 -->
<curllowspeedtime>60</curllowspeedtime> <!-- Tiempo en segundos que el cliente http espera antes de considerar una conexion como lenta. Por defecto 20, minimo 1, maximo 1000 -->
<curlretries>2</curlretries> <!-- Numero de veces que el cliente http reintenta. Por defecto 2, minimo 0, maximo 10 -->
<disableipv6>true</disableipv6> <!-- Desactiva ipv6. Por defecto false -->
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize> <!-- Tamanyo de la cache del reproductor en bytes. Por defecto 20M (20*1024*1024), si es 0 usa una SimpleFileCache. -->
</network>
-------------------------------
I have no idea why is it in Spanish!!!
As for being able to highlight "Add videos...", "Playlists" or "Video Add-ons" items, individually of course, yes I can do that, but when I press "c" on my keyboard, I get a popup, but in there is no mention of "Change content"! so if I highlight Add Videos.. and press "c" on my keyboard, the pop-up displays the following:
Play
Add to favorites
Mark as Unwatched
Mark as Watched
Update Library
Which maybe right since I don't have any exiting vids in my library, I guess....
Thank you for your patience with me. I guess the only remaining issue now is the fact the both those Videos sub-menus, Add-ons & Files, show exactly the same thing!!!!
