How to Efficiently Find and Remove Duplicates in a Large SQL Database?

I have a large SQL database with millions of records, and I’ve identified duplicate entries. What’s the most efficient way to find and remove these duplicates without compromising database performance or data integrity? Are there any best practices or SQL queries that can help in this situation?"

This question addresses a common database maintenance task and invites SQL experts to share their knowledge on efficiently identifying and dealing with duplicate records in a large database.
