There is a number of third party tools which you can use to remove iTunes duplicates. Some of these tools are free, some are not. Below is a review article which compares such utilities:

I go to the menu bar -> File -> Show Dublicates. Then I delete the ones I don't want. Normally if I convert files, I'll select to rearrange by file type, that way I can blindly select all of one type and delete them.. preserving just my AAC ones.

If you have a mac then there's an answer but if your on windows you have to delete the duplicates manually.

I had to delete the duplicates manually on my Mac. You have to pay for the automated stuff. Don't get it twisted.
