Default Deleting rows with repeated number

I have a spreadsheet that has numbers repeated in a
certain column. I only need one column with each number.
Is there a way to quickly delete the repeated-numbered
rows?

Thank you!

Assuming in A,

in B1 add this formula, =COUNTIF(($A$1:A1,A1)1

Then add DataAUtofilter to this column, and filter on a value of TRUE.

The delete all of the visible rows.

You could also look at Data / Filter / Advanced Filter / 'Copy To another
location' and 'Unique values only'
