I used this code to drop 4 columns from my dataframe.

HRdfMerged.drop(['Over18', 'StandardHours', 'MaritalStatus', 'RelationshipSatisfaction'], axis = 1)

When I run list(HRdfMerged) after dropping, those columns are still showing in my dataframe. Am I missing something?

You need to reassign. `HRdfMerged = HRdfMerged.drop.....` drop is not an inplace operation. Or you can add a parameter `inplace=True` and not reassign. – Scott Boston Jul 14 '22 at 13:13

Yes you are missing ```inplace=True``` – Nohman Jul 14 '22 at 13:14
