Examples

>>>idx=pd.MultiIndex.from_product([(0,1,2),('green','purple')],...names=["number","color"])>>>idxMultiIndex([(0,  'green'),            (0, 'purple'),            (1,  'green'),            (1, 'purple'),            (2,  'green'),            (2, 'purple')],           names=['number', 'color'])>>>idx.drop([(1,'green'),(2,'purple')])MultiIndex([(0,  'green'),            (0, 'purple'),            (1, 'purple'),            (2,  'green')],           names=['number', 'color'])

We can also drop from a specific level.

>>>idx.drop('green',level='color')MultiIndex([(0, 'purple'),            (1, 'purple'),            (2, 'purple')],           names=['number', 'color'])

>>>idx.drop([1,2],level=0)MultiIndex([(0,  'green'),            (0, 'purple')],           names=['number', 'color'])
