deleting duplicates in LR classic

Question

I have imported images from a previous catalogue into current catalogue. Despite it saying it was checking for duplicates, there are thoudands of them - usually virtual copies. I am slowly deleting them by highlighting a few (up to 100 at a time)  and removing them. Thjis is hurting my shoulders!! Is there a quicker way?

Ok - thanks. That workedYes done that. But now I'm not sure they are all copies and i will lose them from thr catalog. I  see immediately images that i have already deleted this morning  After you do this in the Filter Bar, the photos shown should all have the "virtual copy" icon, which is the "turned up page" at the bottom left of the thumbnail image.

In the Filter Bar, select virtual copies, then Select All, then delete. (NOTE: this will delete the virtual copies created BEFORE you did this import, maybe you don't want that).
