What Laszlo is saying is there are duplicates in your loaded Libraries, not duplicated objects within your file. If two loaded libraries have an object of the same name you will get the duplicates message in Library Manager.
See my image for a very good (or very bad) example. This will send shivers down Laszlo's spine.
Go to Library Manager, click on a duplicate library, then on the blue Information button. This will bring up the list of duplicates which you can manipulate to show Placed Duplicates, All Duplicates, All Placeable Duplicates or All Non-placeable Duplicates. The one I have selected shows there are 15 duplicates in my Archicad Library 18 and my Office Library. When I have the list set to "List all duplicates" they are listed. None of these, however, are placeable, just various files relating to Cadimage tools that happen to be in both Libraries. If you can narrow down any duplicate objects and where they are in your library structure you can delete one which is not needed.

I am a whole-hearted believer in what you state about "file cleaning"..................and I try my utmost to have the files "clean" but.......the reality of the matter is that when you have architects who can't justify time spent on "file maintenance and cleanliness"...well if it were me "Large and in-charge" I'd certainly do it but I'm not the one running this ship here...I'm just the "get in done" boy.....that's it.
I've tried and tried time again to emphasize that files need to be clean, efficient, well maintained etc.....but after a while it's like I'm tying ot fight a hurricane force wind by blowing out of a straw...........just to no avail. But I agree file maintenance is key, just try and convince that ot the folks that pay you and don't want to be convinced otherwise.
