Finding iCloud duplicate files

Each time I purchased a mac somehow all of my files were uploaded again to iCloud and I am now out of iCloud storage space.

Since I did not realize this was happening until recently, I do not know which files I edited and which are just duplicates and can be disposed of.

Any ideas on how to find the duplicates in iCloud? I have to start weeding out files.
