Example #1: Use
TimedeltaIndex.delete()
function to delete the passed index from the TimedeltaIndex object.
Python3
# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
# Create the TimedeltaIndex object
tidx = pd.TimedeltaIndex(data =['06:05:01.000030', '+23:59:59.999999',
'22 day 2 min 3us 10ns', None])
# Print the TimedeltaIndex object
print(tidx)
Output :

Now we will use the
TimedeltaIndex.delete()
function to delete the value at 1st index.
Note : The index value begins from 0.
Python3
# delete the passed index
tidx.delete(1)

Python3
# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
# Create the first TimedeltaIndex object
tidx = pd.TimedeltaIndex(start ='1 days 02:00:12.001124', periods = 8,
freq ='N', name ='Koala')
# Print the TimedeltaIndex object
print(tidx)
Output :

Now we will use the
TimedeltaIndex.delete()
function to delete the value at the passed index.
Note : The index value begins from 0.
Python3
# delete the passed indexes
tidx.delete([2, 3, 4])
Output :

As we can see in the output, the
