# Import the library and create a dataframe object import pandas df = pandas.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2], 'B': [10, 20]})
# Delete column A del df['A']
# Print out the updated dataframe print(df)
B
0 10
1 20
The del command can be used to delete a pandas dataframe column.
Another alternative that would also delete a dataframe column is this:
df = df.drop('A', axis=1)
Note that drop does not modify the original dataframe. Instead, it returns a new modified dataframe object. In the line above, we are reassigning that new object to the existing df variable.
