I just did a duplicate file clean up and am wondering if there is a way to remove all documents from folders so they can be reorganized manually. For example, I have a few folders titled Desktop, then within them some folders with the same name and within them a few single documents etc. etc. It will take a long time to do it all manually.
 
I've never used any software that is capable of searching for duplicate file names, but sounds like you could use something like that.

What I'd try:
I'd use the free little utility called "EasyFind", which you can get here:

Then search for the items I was looking for, and then...
... carefully delete what I didn't want.
