Delete column.

I am very new with Alteryx. I want to delete column(s). I don't care what is in them what the headers are etc. I just want to delete a column(s). This was easy in Watson Analytics so I'd think it would be in designer but I've spent a lot of time and I don't see a way to easily just delete a column. I'm guessing the best thing to do is just remove it from the original input data set?

Thank You.

What if you need to dynamically delete the first column? For example, for a macro input, how would you go about making sure to always delete the first column -- say the column name might different each time?

What if I want to keep values in last 2 columns and delete first 2 column values keeping the headers.

What if I want to delete values in only first 2 columns keeping headers?
