If you have *not* implemented integrity constraints (Primary Key / Foreign Key), it's a snap:

create temp_table as select * from orig_table; drop table orig_table;
alter table temp_table rename to orig_table;

Recreate any indexes on orig_table.

If you *have* implemented integrity constraints, you have your work cut out for you. You can disable them on any tables "related" to your orig_table, then follow the above, then enable them again. But only you know the parent-child relationships among your tables. You'll have to research that.
