I'm going out on a limb here: I will assume your question is how to remove all rows where the first two values are non-unique. This rephrasing immediately points to the solution: use the unique function with the 'row' switch and the additional output (the position). Then we count occurrences with hist and remove all rows with an occurrence not equal to 1.
A=[1 2 4;
1 2 3;
4 5 6;
4 5 8;
9 1 3;
7 8 9];
[~,indexInMatrix,positionOfRowInUniqueVector]=unique(A(:,1:2),'rows','stable');
[numOfOccurrences,~]=hist(positionOfRowInUniqueVector,unique(positionOfRowInUniqueVector,'stable'));
rowIndex=indexInMatrix(numOfOccurrences==1);
A=A(rowIndex,:);
