TSQL - Delete Duplicate Rows

This was the solution to a problem that was posted on Reddit. The OP asked how to delete a duplicate row. In the question, they just needed to delete a single duplicate. But then I wondered about cases where there was more than a single duplicate. In the example, EmployeeID is the primary key.

This is the finale SQL:
DECLARE @nC int; --number of records to delete
DECLARE @id int = 5; --key

SELECT @nc = count(*)-1 from [dbo].[TestTable]
WHERE EmployeeID = @id

DELETE top (@nc) from [dbo].[TestTable]
WHERE EmployeeID = @id

I was working on a flow in Salesforce and I was get an error in the email template. The error was: Error Occurred: We don't recognize the field prefix Opportunity. Associate a record that matches the prefix or update the template to remove the merge field from the body, subject, or letterhead. The error occured because I didn't have the Related Record ID set on the Send Email element.
