Remove index name in pandas

Question

I have a dataframe like this one:

In [10]: df

Out[10]: 

         Column 1

foo              

Apples          1

Oranges         2

Puppies         3

Ducks           4

How to remove index name foo from that dataframe? The desired output is like this:

In [10]: df

Out[10]: 

         Column 1             

Apples          1

Oranges         2

Puppies         3

Ducks           4

Answer 1

Use del df.index.name:

In [26]: df

Out[26]:

         Column 1

foo

Apples          1

Oranges         2

Puppies         3

Ducks           4

In [27]: del df.index.name

In [28]: df

Output:

          Column 1

Apples          1

Oranges         2

Puppies         3

Ducks           4
