Remove duplicates in reverse order

Hi,

i have a questions.
I have a table with reverse duplicates, see this example data:

ID # FOREIGN ID
1 # 2
1 # 5
1 # 9
9 # 1
5 # 1
2 # 1

I just need the corrrelation, the direction doesnt matter.
Meaning i need to get rid of the first 3 or the last 3 lines.

Can anybody help me with that? I dont manage to get that done 😕

Cheers.
