Delete cells from cell array without replacing that by NULL

Question

I have a cell which contains cells, I want to delete specific cell from the cell array but with 'delete' function I am getting error as "Argument must contain a string". For example I have a cell A= { ['a'] ['b'] ['c'] [1 2 3]} now i want to delete the 3rd value of A that is A(3)='c' such that the new cell A after deleting A(3) will be as A={ ['a'] ['b'] [1 2 3]}, means there should not be any null value at the place of deleted value as A={['a'] ['b'] [] [1 2 3]} . Please solve my problem.

Use parenthesis instead of braces:

A(1) = [];
