How to delete by row number in SQL

DELETE FROM dbo.industry
WHERE COLUMN_NAME IN      -- Choose a column name
  (SELECT TOP 1000
     COLUMN_NAME,          -- Choose a column name
     ROW_NUMBER() OVER( ORDER by COLUMN_NAME ASC) AS Row_Number
   FROM dbo.industry
   WHERE Row_Number BETWEEN 475 AND 948 )

COLUMN_NAME can be any column name of your table u want.

May be it is too late, but I am usually doing this

; with cte(rownum)as(
    select row_number () over(partition by [Col1], [Col2] order by Col3) from [table]
)
delete from cte where rownum > 1
