web.config - Invalid configuration data for the page?

Created a Web Application in ASP.NET (c# language), than Build -> Published to Desktop, moved all files and folders to the ./test directory of the root of my localhost, than go to localhost/test/Default.aspx, and get this error message:

HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

Points to this bit of code within web.config:

<section name="scriptResourceHandler" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>

Actually, more digging reveals this:

There is a duplicate 'system.web.extensions/scripting/scriptResourceHandler' section defined

Can I just define this in the root web.config file? Or is it safe to remove it altogether?

If this entry is defined in machine.config, then it's considered duplicate. Either remove this entry from web.config or add a remove sentence before.

<remove name="scriptResourceHandler/>
