Lightbulb Need to delete duplicate of a column B based on column A and keep ColumnB if unique value to columnA

Hi Friends,

Am new to this forum, hoping to get some urgent help from THE EXPERTS
Pls read heading as - Need to delete duplicate of a column C based on column B and keep Column B if unique value(occurs more than once) to based on columnA
And expand the current selection(i mean delete that row if deleting the value of the cell)

Working on a spreadsheet which contains million record, 50 columns.
Which 1) I have sorted Column B Low to high, and Column C Latest to Oldest
Now i want to keep the latest time stamp(even if its repetitive N number of times, i would like to keep it like even once or even N times). But delete rest of the dates for that particular duplicated Column B value and expand the current selection.

I hope i could get some help. Many Thanks.

Illustrated an EXAMPLE

A B C
