how to remove rows from dataframe in r (different situation)

Question

So I want to remove the first row in the data frame. my code is like

reddot.info<-reddot.info[-1,]

But then i find i can not view this data frame. i figure out the reason. because when i run code

reddot.info[1,]

if appears as Num Product_names URL 1 NA Product Names URL which means that if i use this code i will also remove the column names. so what should i do to remove the first row in stead of removing the column names and first row together.

Thank you so much.

Can you include dput(reddot.info) so that we could understand your problem better ? — Jd Baba

You probably don't have column names to begin with because removing the first row like that doesn't remove the column names.

colnames(reddot.info) <- reddot.info[1,]
reddot.info <- reddot.info[-1,]
