These are not duplicates, but alternates roms. Files are differents.
If you want to remove them, you can try to find a new dat, or edit your original dat file and remove all games with (hn),(bn)...
or you can filter and remove the files in romcenter: enter [h1] in the search field and remove all files displayed. Repeat for [b1] etc....

People, I'd recommend using this photo duplicate remover to deal with unnecessary files on your hard drive. It has many functions, user-friendly interface, safety options and 100% efficiency.

This "photo duplicate remover" won't help you with roms. Roms are not photos.
Roms are zipped and some games have several identical roms which should not be removed.

Another solution is to use the new 'one game one file' feature. This will remove all clones, keeping only the main games.
To activate, go to preferences/gamesset and select the check box.
All clones will appear as 'unknown'. You can them move them to another location, keeping only one fil eper game.
