Yeah items in the cloud might be showing up. Do you have iTunes match on? that might be why. I fyou remove dupes by showing them all I do is just hit cmd a and they are all removed. I brought my itl file from 45 meg down to 38 where it lays now. There is a program you can buy from the app store that will manage dupes bette then iTunes. I have used a demo version on their site and it rocks.
