You have to find them in the "Explorer". Either you show the Objects in the explorer tree and select them there or you go to the group and delete the duplicates.
Most probably you have the problem, that both definitions have occurrences. You can use the search for duplicate objects. Start a search on the Main group with Ctrl+F and in the dialogue select "duplicates". This will find all objects where type and name are identical. In the result list you can go and select them one-by-one and from the context menu start the "Consolidate objects" wizard. This will ask you, which definition to keep and all occurrences of the discarded definition will be repointed to the remaining definition.
If the objects you want to consolidate do not have identical names any more, you must find a way to do a multi-select of the objects, e. g. search for them using Ctrl+F dialogue in some context and select the desired objects from the result list. Then you can do "Consolidate objects" just the same. Or you start "Consolidate objects" on a single object and add the scope of objects to consolidate inside the consolidation wizard.
Warning: A deletion of an object is permanent! There is no undo.
a bit more background to your question would be helpful, because, potentially, "reorganising" the database will solve your question. So, if you have a couple of unused objects in your database, the reorg will delete all those objects that are not expressed in any model. You can do so by right-clicking on your database in Architect and selecting reorganise (I suggest to do a backup before, because there is no undo, as M. Zschuckelt said).
The original question was "... using ARIS Architect". I'm not sure, what the recent releases have on offer here in the browser interface. With every release more and more of the rich client capabilities are implemented in the web interface. I admit I am not quite up-to-date here.
Database Re-organizational function is also available in the web client version. You will need a DB admin privilage and can be found in Administration->Databases. Select which DB you want to re-org and the option will showup on the top.

This works only with the richt client ARIS Architect & Designer not with the Browser/Cloud versions. Right?

Hi Nicola,
Thanks for that hint- I didn't know that the reorg function was already available in Connect.
Best,
