drop a dataframe column by name code example

Example 1: drop a column pandas

df.drop(['column_1', 'Column_2'], axis = 1, inplace = True)

Example 2: python - drop a column

# axis=1 tells Python that we want to apply function on columns instead of rows
# To delete the column permanently from original dataframe df, we can use the option inplace=True
df.drop(['A', 'B', 'C'], axis=1, inplace=True)
