DECLARE @TEst TABLE (FIELD1 int, FIELD2 char(10))
INSERT INTO @Test VALUES (1,'Entry ABC')
INSERT INTO @Test VALUES (1,'Entry ABC')
INSERT INTO @Test VALUES (2,'Entry 123')
INSERT INTO @Test VALUES (2,'Entry 123')

;with cteTest
AS
(
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Field1, Field1 ORDER BY Field1, Field1) AS R_C
FROM @TEst Test
)

DELETE FROM cteTest WHERE R_C > 1

SELECT * FROM @TEst
