How to delete duplicate photos on your Mac:

You can further narrow down your search by using Smart Albums. You can filter your pictures by filename, camera model, lens type, etc.

4. Select the pictures you want to delete.
5. Right-click on any of those images and click Delete.

7. In the sidebar, click Recently Deleted.
8. Click Delete All in the top right corner.
