Pandas reset index doesn't seem to work?

Question

I\'m not sure where I am astray but I cannot seem to reset the index on a dataframe.

When I run test.head(), I get the output below:

Answer 1

As an extension of in code veritas's answer... instead of doing del at the end:

test = test.reset_index()
del test['index']

You can set drop to True.

test = test.reset_index(drop=True)
