    There is a option in magento to remove category in url. You must activate it, after that the page page must redirect to main page or the category page must be canonical url. Hope this information can help you.

    Go to the Magento Admin Panel -> System -> Configuration -> Catalog -> Seo Options

    Aleale can't you configure Magento to automatically generate a 301 redirect in those instances? That would prevent the potential duplicate content.
