Duplicate Resources: Is there a way to automatically ignore the duplicate resource when building in android studio

I'm new to Android propramming and this is also my first time asking a question in here, so if my question or my English is not good or sounds stupid to you, I'm sorry about that.

Back to my question, suppose that I have 2 res folder but not in the same path,and with each of res folder which has a values folder. In values folder, there is a string.xml file. (See the picture below).
Inside of each of string.xml file, there are 2 string names which defined similarly. When I build the project, error occurs.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.

[string/app_name] E:AndroidStudioProjectstestappsrcmainresvaluesstrings.xml [string/app_name] E:AndroidStudioProjectstestappsrcmainjavacomexamplequywntestresvaluesstring.xml: Error: Duplicate resources

Of coure with only 2 string.xml file, I can rename or delete it manually, but when I have a lot of files with cause the same error above, I can't rename or delete them manually. So my question is "Is there a way to rename/delete the content inside of duplicate resources or ignore duplicate resoure and just choose 1 of the same content automatically ?"

For example: I have 2 string.xml with the same defined string name inside of each of string.xml. When building, the system checks the 2 file string.xml and just choose 1 string name and ignore the other although the one of 2 string names is not deleted or renamed. And at this time, I expect that error will not occurs and build successfully.

I don't know the question is clear or not, if not, I'm sorry for my explaination. Thanks for your help !

You're going to find a way that make a further mistake?!
You should keep your resource's name unique.
