Anne, This has normally happened when I’ve gone through the iPhoto that were imported to Photo & I’ve found duplicates that iPhoto had made due to the way an edited photo was duplicated if you did any editing. I would then delete one of the duplicates to later find I had deleted the wrong one. This won’t happen from here on the way Photos handles storage of duplicates & edited photos.
