Solution 1:

Add Unique Index on your table:

ALTER IGNORE TABLE `TableA`   
ADD UNIQUE INDEX (`member_id`, `quiz_num`, `question_num`, `answer_num`);

Solution 2:

Add primry key in your table then you can easily remove duplicates from your table using below query:

DELETE FROM member  
WHERE id IN (SELECT * 
             FROM (SELECT id FROM member 
                   GROUP BY member_id, quiz_num, question_num, answer_num HAVING (COUNT(*) > 1)
                  ) AS A
            );

 

Solution 3:

SELECT DISTINCT * INTO TableA_Verify FROM TableA;

DROP TABLE TableA;

RENAME TABLE TableA_Verify TO TableA;
