Do you see something like: Book1.xls:1 and Book1.xls:2 in the title bars?
If yes, then you haven't duplicated any worksheets. But you have opened a
second window into that same workbook.
If you want to close one, just click on it and hit ctrl-w
Remember to save the workbook before you close--else you'll be doing it again.
Debra Dalgleish has some instructions with pictures:

This can be caused by using:
Window|New window
(maybe followed by window|arrange)
It can be quite useful to see different ares of the same workbook (even same
worksheet) at the same time.
