Too many copies of the same photo, not sure which one to keep, since all are slightly different kbs!

I've been pulling my hair out at this task, which seems insurmountable. I have spent a lot of time consolidating all my past storage drives, and then doing it again, and now discover I have many duplicate copies. (You know that button that says save both? I clicked it too often)I'm not sure which of these duplicates to keep, because though the dimensions of the photos are the same, most of them have a small kb difference (i.e., 58kb vs 56kb). Does it matter which ones I discard? UGH! Feeling overwhelmed. Also, my logical brain wants to know why there is a difference in the saved files.
