Q:

drop a column from dataframe

df.drop(['column_1', 'Column_2'], axis = 1, inplace = True) 
3
df.drop(columns=['B', 'C'])
4
note: df is your dataframe

df = df.drop('coloum_name',axis=1)
5
>>>df = pd.DataFrame(np.arange(12).reshape(3, 4), 
                     columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
>>>df
   A  B   C   D
0  0  1   2   3
1  4  5   6   7
2  8  9  10  11

>>> df.drop(['B', 'C'], axis=1)
   A   D
0  0   3
1  4   7
2  8  11

OR

>>> df.drop(columns=['B', 'C'])
   A   D
0  0   3
1  4   7
2  8  11
16
df = df.drop('column_name', 1)
2
df.drop(columns=['Unnamed: 0'])
4
#To delete the column without having to reassign df
df.drop('column_name', axis=1, inplace=True) 
0
#working with "text" syntax for the columns:
df.drop(['column_nameA', 'column_nameB'], axis=1, inplace=True)
1
df = df.drop(df.columns[[0, 1, 3]], axis=1)  # df.columns is zero-based pd.Index 
0
>>> df.drop(['B', 'C'], axis=1)
   A   D
0  0   3
1  4   7
2  8  11
