How to Quickly Delete Duplicate "Files with the Same Name" in the Same Folder in Windows 11
Over the years, I have repeatedly stored files in the same folder, and now I have accumulated a large number of duplicate files with identical names and paths. I need an efficient method to batch delete these duplicates to avoid manual one-by-one operations. Seeking recommendations for built-in system tools, command-line solutions, or reliable third-party software.

If you download Microsoft PC Manager from micro soft store free, inside their folder there is a duplicate folder you click on and it removes all duplicate folder quickly and efficiently. Use it often and have had no problems. it also has boost your pc, deletes your storage, deep clean, health check and more.
Use DupeGuru or Duplicate Cleaner for GUI-based, safe, and quick duplicate removal.
Manually sort files by name or date in File Explorer.
Use Search with filename patterns if duplicates follow naming conventions.
Limitations: These methods are time-consuming and less effective for large-scale duplicates.
You can use File Explorer or Finder to manually search, but this is impractical for large datasets.
