How to find notes with same name?

What I’m trying to do

Ensure unique filename in a vault

I had about 20-30 duplicated notes. The reason i guess is that I was using iCloud during that period of time and moved a lot of notes and folders. And they are copied to the new location but the original ones are left behind without being deleted.
