[When using Remove Duplicate Files], I believe the tool should search for every directory containing this files, then, group duplicated files in duplicated directories showing the complete path, and the, you can choose to delete a directory ( in my case, it's albums of music and photos which are duplicated, so it will [reduce] the number of clicks by 5~10[fold] ).

It may also be possible to erase the file which is in a [more top or deeper level] in the file system (for instance, delete /home/x/photo/double.png and not /home/x/photo/november2006/1st/double.png [since the 2nd is nested deeper in directories])

Kleansweep has been removed from the archives since it still depends on kde3 and will not be available for installation in coming Ubuntu releases. Unfortunately this means that further improvements will not be made to this package. (The kde-look page was probably more appropriate for feature requests anyways)
