>Can I remove this column or will I need to drop the entire table and
restore from backup?

There's not a "remove column" option for alter table, but you may be able to
get around restoring by renaming the existing table, creating a replacement
the way you want it to look, & then copy from the old to new using "insert
into table newtable (col1,col2) values (select col1,col2 from oldtable);"
