Open finder > iCloud Drive > click on personal folder or document , in its sub folder you can find duplicate file ( it can be searched using finder spotlight search ) just type duplicate file it will be searched in my Mac , right click over it and move to bin .

Note : the file will automatically delete from iCloud.com when iCloud Drive and desktops and documents box is turned as on from Mac system preferences .
