One method that I believe works (haven't tried it in a while):

BEGIN;

CREATE TEMP TABLE foo_temp AS
SELECT DISTINCT bar, bat, baz
FROM foo;

TRUNCATE foo;

INSERT INTO TABLE foo (bar, bat, baz)
SELECT bar, bat, baz
FROM foo_temp;

DROP TABLE foo_temp;

COMMIT;

There are others. Googling would probably reveal some.
