I have 3-4 of each book with a number in parenthesis after it. For example in my Stephen King folder I might have
A Face in the Crowd (869)
A Face in the Crowd (2)

Approximately 85% of my library is duplicates like this basically from sloppy "quick" conversion using Calibre (my sloppines, not Calibres). However, when using the find duplicates plugin, and trying every parameter possible, it shows NO DUPLICATES. I tried ccCleaner and that finally found them all but it's only finding them by folder. Only ONE folder has .mobi file in it while the DUPLICATE folder has .epubs so I can't just check off random duplicates in cccleaner because I might be deleting the only folder containing the .mobi which is my preferred format.

Thanks for any tips or alternate pieces of software ... I could take a week off work and do alot of "point, click and delete" but I'd rather not if I don't have to! Thanks all!!
