Why bother with software? You can do it with just a few commands:

create table two like one;
insert into two select * from one group by duplicatecolumn;
drop table one;
rename table two to one;

 

If you have are using mysql with phpmyadmin installed or you know how to log into your mysql user account, execute these queries would result in a table with all entries unique: find and remove duplicate records.

The first thing you must be sure is by what fields / columns what you want a record identified as unique, then SELECT DISTINCT of them or GROUP BY them.
