How do I remove duplicate files in Linux?

The uniq command is used to remove duplicate lines from a text file in Linux. By default, this command discards all but the first of adjacent repeated lines, so that no output lines are repeated. Optionally, it can instead only print duplicate lines.

How can I delete duplicate records?

To remove duplicate values, click Data > Data Tools > Remove Duplicates. To highlight unique or duplicate values, use the Conditional Formatting command in the Style group on the Home tab.
