You can delete some of the data from the table by calling `tbl.delete()` with a desired `delete_filter`.

```python
tbl.delete(delete_filter="city == 'Paris'")
```

!!! example "Under development"
Writing using PyIceberg is still under development. Support for [partial overwrites](https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/issues/268) and writing to [partitioned tables](https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/issues/208) is planned and being worked on.
In the above example, any records where the city field value equals to `Paris` will be deleted.
Running `tbl.scan().to_arrow()` will now yield:

<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
```
pyarrow.Table
city: string
lat: double
long: double
----
city: [["Amsterdam","San Francisco","Drachten"],["Groningen"]]
lat: [[52.371807,37.773972,53.11254],[53.21917]]
