    You shouldn't remove items from a list while iterating it. Instead, build a new list with the items you want to keep. – roganjosh Jun 02 '18 at 11:07

    Deleting from a list while iterating over it is like sawing off the branch you’re sitting on. – zvone Jun 02 '18 at 11:12

The problem is, that you are manipulating the list while iterating over it. You better create a filtered copy of the result list:

result=[['10'], ['5'], ['6'], ['12'], ['9'], ['10'], ['5', '9', '10'], ['5', '10'], ['13'], ['9', '10'], ['1']]

filtered_result = []

for i in result:
    if len(i)>2:
        filtered_result.append(i)

print(filtered_result)

Or for example using filter:

result = filter(lambda x: len(x)>2, result)

You could also use list comprehension:

result = [x for x in result if len(x)>2]
