If you mean you have duplicate photo's in folders on the hard disk, use your favorite file manager (such as Windows Explorer) to delete the unwanted copy. Deleting pictures is no different from deleting any other file: right click>delete or the delete-key.
But maybe you mean something different?

Thank you but I should have explained better. My question related to both identifying and then deleting duplicate photos stored on the hard drive and accessed through any number of the digital photo programs or platforms such as Windows Live, etc.
I answered you question. It often happens members ask something different than they mean. No problem.
A relevant question is when you consider 2 pictures identical. If you make a copy of a pic and remove the exif-data in one copy, is it still identical? If you make a copy of a pic, edit it a litlle bit in Photoshop (say, change the brightness from 50 to 51) but keep the exif-data, is it still the same picture? Or a different one?
