In WED, go to the find object thing in the menu then type in your block number. I don't think that there is such a thing as block 0 though....

If the hollow cube thing is grouped up and the search points to it, select that group and scope down. Repeat the search. If it's still within a group, keep repeating until you get the individual block you need to "unduplicate".

You have to delete them till there's no other duplicate block.

Yes, it means exactly that. Maybe you have asigned a key+mouse combination to the copy command, and when you press this key by accident, it makes an unwanted copy of the block.

Usually, when you have duplicate blocks, they are caused from a failed copy operation such as copying something but then having the block positioned in the spot it was copied from as from a rejected action.
Do you know what the prefix "un" means? Duplicate means to make two of something. Un, as in undo, in "unduplicate" means to undo the duplication or simply erase the duplicate.
The point of the warning is simple. Basically, the blocks are in the same space (likely using the same texture) and just wastes memory, disk space, video memory, and causes the game to run slower from having to render the extra block. It's an important warning that you should look into fixing. I've had this once before, but I don't build with blocks anymore.
