Just test for the RecordCount...
<CFQUERY datasource="bwpc" name="TestForExistingQuote">
Select * FROM SystemQuote WHERE (CFID=#CFID# AND CFTOKEN=#CFTOKEN#)
</cfquery>
<CFIF TestForExistingQuote.RecordCount>
<CFQUERY datasource="bwpc">
DELETE FROM SystemQuote WHERE CFID = #CFID#
</cfquery>
</cfif>

>I have a table in a database that contains the fields CFID, CFTOKEN, WDDX
