Any row is a third row :-)

create table test
(
n int,
name varchar(30)
);

insert into test values(1,'yoko'),(1,'yoko'),(1,'yoko');

select ROW_NUMBER() over(order by name) as ordinal, * from test;

Deleting the last row:

with a as
(
select ROW_NUMBER() over(order by name) as ordinal, * from test
)
delete from a where a.ordinal = (select MAX(ordinal) from a)
