Answer 1

I understood! Simple and it worked great.

delete 
   t1 
from 
   tTable t1, tTable t2 
where 
   t1.locationName = t2.locationName and  
   t1.id > t2.id

SQL Server 2005:

with FirstKey
AS
(
    SELECT MIN(ID), Name, COUNT(*) AS Cnt
      FROM YourTable
     GROUP BY Name
     HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
)
DELETE YourTable
  FROM YourTable YT
  JOIN FirstKey FK ON FK.Name = YT.Name AND FK.ID != YT.ID
