There are legitimate means of getting multiple unique items. I myself
found two windforces, within a span of two hours, though in two
different games. Of course, there is also the usual dupe trick, which
as far as I know still works.

As for deleting duplicates of unique items, it seems that as long
as both are legitimately acquired, Diablo does nothing. I drop my
two windforces, and nothing happens. It could be that they are not
exactly identical, cuz I put one of my windforce through Hidden
shrine, its durability is 70 versus the standard 60.

On the other hand, I bought two mana potions from Adria, dropped
both of them and Diablo reported duplicate items and promptly removed
one of them. There, it seems that nothing is certain as far as the
dupe item detection routine is concerned. A safe bet is to always
make sure to not drop any item you do not wish to part with
involuntarily.
