Please check below code : https://stackblitz.com/edit/delete-selected-column-t7ecei?file=app/table-basic-example.html Explanation : We have taken one variable with incremental value with no of columns in table so when user will add column in table, value will be increase by one and it will be stored in tableOneColumnData array. After that when user click on checkbox of table columns we will first check that, if it is checked then we will add that particular indexed number of tableOneColumnData in new array named removeItems for deletion of columns or if checkbox is unchecked then we will remove that number from removeItems array. After that when finally user click on remove columns button we will loop the removeItems array and find index of that number in tableOneColumnData array if it exists then will splice that index from tableOneColumnData array.

I forked your stackblitz to make that work. In order to have something to bind to mat-checkbox, I used an object. So I extended tableOneColumnData like this:

tableOneColumnData: any[] = [{checked: false, data: '1'}, {checked: false, data: '1'}];

Html:

<th *ngFor="let column of tableOneColumnData; let i = index">
  <div contenteditable="true">
    <mat-checkbox [checked]="column.checked" (click)="markDelete(i, $event)"></mat-checkbox>
  </div>
</th>

.ts:

markDelete(index, $event) {
    this.tableOneColumnData[index].checked = !this.tableOneColumnData[index].checked
    console.log(index);
}

delete() {
  this.tableOneColumnData = this.tableOneColumnData.filter(c => !c.checked);
}

In case you are not happy with me using objects in tableOneColumnData: You can also use a seperate array to store which cols are marked for deletion. Here is how you bulk delete all the elements in that array from tableOneColumnData: remove all elements contained in another array

You just need to add splice method in your delete method. Try this I hope it'll help you out. Thanks

delete(value, $event) {
 this.checked = !value;     
 this.tableOneColumnData.splice(this.tableOneColumnData[this.tableOneColumnData.length - 1], 1);
}

I just create a working example when you click remove column it'll remove last column from your list.

Ok, let me update my code. I have one question If the user checked multiple checkboxes you want to delete all selected column? Thanks – Hassan Siddiqui Apr 12 '19 at 11:21
no currently User needs to delete only one column at a time – Apr 12 '19 at 11:28
Right now user can checked multiple columns. – Hassan Siddiqui Apr 12 '19 at 11:48
