I don't know how I have accumulated so many duplicate photo's on my PC running Windows 11, but I have. I am looking for a way to delete the duplicates, a lot have 4-6 duplicates.

I like Duplicate File Finder.
Is that on windows, or do you need to purchase it?

Thanks guys, I downloaded a free copy of "Quick Photo Finder". I am running it now.

If you have a photo editor that has a library function built in to it, be careful to not delete image files that are part of that library. When they're gone, they're gone

To delete more than 15 photo's at a time out of the 2600 duplicates that it found, I had to buy the program for $34.36 for six months. It's a fair amount of money, but what a time saver. All of my duplicates are gone now.

Duplicate File Finder is free, and it deletes any number all at once. I don't delete too many at once because if I make a mistake, all the pictures I have selected could be deselected.

I often keep only one of a string of similar photos. To do this, I have to actually look at them, and keep only one of them. This requires only the program provided by my o/s to look at photos, to delete files, and some way of keeping notes.

I use ACDSee for my photo file manager and it has a duplicate file finder built into it. I never use it because a good file manager makes it easy to keep track of all those works of art. A good file manager like ACDSee has many advantages for any prolific photographer. I'd guess LR has similar tools.
