The quick way to do this is to create a temporary table with the information in it and then blow away the original table then recreate it.

create table temp1 as select distinct * from originalTable;

That creates the temp table with unique rows.

Now get rid of the original table:

drop table orginialTable;

and re-create it:

create table originalTable as select * from temp1;

That should do it!

Enjoy!
