If the IGNORE statement won't work like in my case, you can use the below statement:

CREATE TABLE your_table_deduped LIKE your_table;


INSERT your_table_deduped
SELECT *
FROM your_table
GROUP BY index1_id,
         index2_id;

RENAME TABLE your_table TO your_table_with_dupes;

RENAME TABLE your_table_deduped TO your_table;

#OPTIONAL
ALTER TABLE `your_table` ADD UNIQUE `unique_index` (`index1_id`, `index2_id`);

#OPTIONAL
DROP TABLE your_table_with_dupes;
