How to remove from the data the rows of with fixed number of elements? [on hold]

$begingroup$


Consider the data which has the form



data = {{x1,y1,z1},{x2,y2,z2,t2},{x3,y4,z4,t4},{x5,y5,z5},...}


How to remove the rows containing three elements from the data?



I.e., to obtain



dataprime = {{x2,y2,z2,t2},{x3,y4,z4,t4},...}

    Maybe you ask for DeleteCases[data, _?(Length[#] == 3 &)]...

    Maybe you ask for DeleteCases[data, _?(Length[#] == 3 &)]...

Any one of these would do:



Cases[data, Except[_?(Length[#] == 3 &)]]
DeleteCases[data, _?(Length[#] == 3 &)]

Select[data, Length[#] != 3 &]

Delete[data, Position[data, _?(Length[#] == 3 &)]]

data /. {_, _, _} -> Nothing
data /. {Repeated[_, {3}]} -> Nothing


They all return: {{x2, y2, z2, t2}, {x3, y4, z4, t4}}
