I keep receiving this error, with whatever i try and do to a dataset dictionary that i downloaded from hugging face. I want to remove certain features from the dictionary and just keep a few. (base\_prompt, best\_answer)
features\_kept = [‘base\_prompt’, ‘best\_answer’]
test\_set\_new = {key: value for key, value in test\_reloaded.items() if key in features\_kept}
second error:
AttributeError: ‘Dataset’ object has no attribute ‘pop’
code:
prompt\_removed = test\_reloaded.pop(‘base\_prompt’)
answer\_removed = test\_reloaded.pop(‘best\_answer’)
I can seem to figure out how to solve?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello there 👋
To remove features in a Dataset you need to use the `.remove_columns()` method. Doc [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/process#remove).

Thank you so much! I’ve actually just found a hugging face video aswell!
For anyone, who wants to learn this and other things relating to changing datasetDicts hugging face have made a great video. Hope this helps.
