    What software and/or tools are you using and what format is your data in (.las for example)? In ArcGIS there's a Delete Identical tool at the Advanced License level... but I don't know if that would work on a LIDAR point cloud.

You can delete all duplicate points from a las, laz or ascii file using lasduplicate in LAStools.




Finds and removes all duplicate points from a LAS/LAZ/ASCII file. In
the default mode those are xy-duplicate points that have identical x
and y coordinates. The first point survives, all subsequent duplicates
are removed. It is also possible to keep the lowest points amongst all
xy-duplicates via ‘-lowest_z’.



It is also possible to remove only xyz-duplicates points that have all
x, y and z coordinates identical via ‘-unique_xyz’.




Also, lasfilterduplicates in the lidR package (documentation p. 51):



lasfilterduplicates(las)



Filter points that appear more than once in the point cloud according
to their X Y Z coordinates

      If you consider to remove duplicated points on X, Y coordinates (with different Z), after using lasfilterduplicates function from lidR package, you may use lasfilter function.



      las <- lasfilter(las, !duplicated(las@data, by = c("X", "Y"))


      I think it will retain the first return points (from that duplicated points).
