Unable to rename and remove pandas Index - Python

Question

I have a dataframe which is like as shown below

Though I know the column names are 'FR', 'ig' and 'te' with the help of below command.

dataFramesDict['Tri'].columns

What does name = 'level_1' mean here? Moreover, I also don't see subject_ID in the columns or index list. What is subject_ID here?

How do I get the output to be like as shown below

I tried the below code to rename 'level_1' to 'subject_ID' but it doesn't work

dataFramesDict['Tri'].index = dataFramesDict['Tri'].index.rename('subject_ID')

Please note that the data is just a sample data. I am only interested in changing the first column name and dropping that 'level_1'. Nothing to do with data

I am unable to create dataframe of this type through sample code. The above shown dataframe is a result of another complex code. So, I have provided a screenshot of dataframe

Try this

df.columns.name= ''
df.reset_index(inplace=True)

Thanks. It works. Instead of `title`, it is `df.columns.name = ' '` – The Great Jul 29 '19 at 08:18
