This allows me to delete single column:

a <- c(1,2,3,NA,5)
b <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
c <- c(1,2,3,4,NA)
d <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
z<-tibble(a, b, c, d)
z
z<-select(z, -starts_with('c'))
z

Now instead of giving name of single column I want to give a vector with column names that should be deleted. How to do that?

What exactly is not working with `z %>% select(-one_of(cols))`? – tmfmnk Jun 24 '19 at 18:31

Or any of the methods [from this FAQ](https://stackoverflow.com/q/4605206/903061). (The second answer is `select(-one_of(cols))` – Gregor Thomas Jun 24 '19 at 18:34
