Though to approach a solution I would suggest you to try and use a better data structure and not just string. Yet, you can simply modify your logic to delete already existing duplicates using an else as follows :

public static void uniqueCharacters(String test) {
        String temp = "";
        for (int i = 0; i < test.length(); i++) {
            char ch = test.charAt(i);
            if (temp.indexOf(ch) == -1) {
                temp = temp + ch;
            } else {
                temp.replace(String.valueOf(ch),""); // added this to your existing code
            }
        }

        System.out.println(temp + " ");

    }
