Delete Data from Cell Array

This example shows how to remove data from individual cells, and how to delete entire cells from a cell array.

Create a 3-by-3 cell array

C = {1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6; 7, 8, 9}

C=3×3 cell array{[1]} {[2]} {[3]} {[4]} {[5]} {[6]} {[7]} {[8]} {[9]}

Delete the contents of a particular cell by assigning an empty array to the cell, using curly braces for content indexing,{}.

C{2,2} = []

C=3×3 cell array{[1]} {[ 2]} {[3]} {[4]} {0x0 double} {[6]} {[7]} {[ 8]} {[9]}

Delete sets of cells using standard array indexing with smooth parentheses,（）. For example, remove the second row ofC.

C(2,:) = []

C=2×3 cell array{[1]} {[2]} {[3]} {[7]} {[8]} {[9]}
