Simple and free online TSV column deleter. Just paste a TSV table and choose which columns to remove. You can specify a single column, multiple columns, or an entire range of columns by number, or enter the text headers of the columns you want to remove. You can also clean the TSV by skipping empty rows and commented rows. Created by programmers from team Browserling.

This online tool removes unwanted columns from Tab Separated Values (TSV) files. When a column is deleted, the tool removes all values in that column, starting from the header cell (if the table has headers) and continuing through all rows below it. You can delete a single column by entering its number, such as "3", or remove several columns by entering multiple numbers, such as "1, 4, 6". You can also delete a full range of columns with a value such as "2-5", which removes columns 2 and 5, and all columns between them, or you can combine individual columns and ranges, such as "1, 3-5, 8". Negative numbers are supported too, so "-1" means the last column in a TSV, "-2" means the second column from the end, and so on. If your TSV file has a header row, you can switch to header matching and enter one or more header names, each on a separate line. For example, you can enter "name", "age", or "city" to delete columns with these titles. When the same header appears in multiple columns, the tool can delete only the first matching column or remove every column with that header. By default, deleted columns are removed from the table completely, so the remaining columns move left and the output TSV becomes narrower. If you prefer to preserve the original table width, you can keep empty column slots instead, so the deleted values become blank fields. The tool can also clean the input while deleting columns: it can skip empty rows and remove comment rows that begin with a marker such as "#" or "//". Tsv-abulous!

In this example, we remove the third column from a TSV asset table. This column stores internal asset IDs, so the tool deletes it across the whole table, including the header and all values below it. The remaining TSV keeps only the device name, owner, and status fields.
In this example, a TSV task list has two columns with the same "note" header. We switch to header matching and enter "note" as the column name to delete. Since the "Remove Every Header Match" option is enabled, both note columns are selected. We also preserve the TSV layout, so the removed note values are replaced with empty fields instead of shifting the remaining columns left.
This example deletes the first and last columns from a TSV menu table by using the position list "1, -1". This leaves each data row with just two fields: the item name and the price. The tool also cleans the TSV by skipping the "# seasonal menu draft" comment row and removing the empty row.
