Editing problem

Hi,
I want to do this:
original file:
a a hello
e e bye
becames:
a hello
e bye

I think this can be done with sed or tr, but I've already tried all the options and can't find the solution.

Thanks in advance

isn't this somehow related?

no, because I want to eliminate repeated text blocks.

Thanks for the other tip, it worked!
