First make sure for yourself, what you define as "duplicate".  
This first step can lead you to make a plan how it can be solved using Mp3tag or not.

[Verschiedene Dateien löschen](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/12245/5)  
... which includes further more links to other threads regarding the handling of "duplicates".
