Duplicates Numerous Columns

Hello everyone,

 

I have linked a sample example of my data set to the post with the desired outcome. Basically, I want to delete the columns where the data is the same in another column. I have hundreds of columns and therefore I would need something where i would not need to individually select columns.

 

Can someone help me with this matter ?

 

Thank you,
