The reason I am asking is that I have several images that were downloaded in plans that were built with slightly incorrect RA and DEC values.  When I correct these values and re-download the images I would like the incorrect DSS images deleted. 

I don't think I answered this one...

The deletion occurs only if the RA/Dec coordinates of the duplicate images are identical, so it's not going to help you in this case. There's also the issue of which image gets deleted: the new one or the old one.

It would not be difficult at all to do what you want. However, I'm debating whether this should be a script or a built-in feature. A script should do the job quite nicely.
