can't cause it shows the file, then duplicate, then the next file and so on so if i delete everything it will delete my whole library, not just the duplicates

You must have the option checked to have iTunes manage your library. What it will do is create files for artists and albums and sort everything. And unless the file was originally inside the music library directory, it makes a copy instead of simply moving it.

What you can do from here is delete the library without actually deleting any of the files and just start over.

Just make sure that your iTunes isn't set to manage your music library.
