Deleting the duplicate files made from iTunes - consolidate feature

Deleting the duplicate files made from iTunes - consolidate feature

I selected the iTunes folder library as [home folder]/Music
Having music files in the same folder ([home folder]/Music) I select File
-> Organize Library -> Consolidate Files.
Which created doubled files.

Every new file have " 1" suffix
How can I delete them ?
EDIT:
I was supposed to answer my own question but I have no permission yet.



Go to Music folder and execute from terminal
find ./ -name "* 1.*" -exec rm {} \;
Execute ealier
find ./ -name "* 1.*"
To check if it find appropriate files.
After this the easiest way would be delete your whole library, and
relocate all files again. (You will lost the data like "how many times you
played that song")
