Dear All,

Thank you very much.

HI,
Try this:
set.seed(25)
arr1<- array(sample(c(1:40,NA),60,replace=TRUE),dim=c(5,4,3))
arr1[,,sapply(seq(dim(arr1)[3]),function(i) all(!is.na(arr1[,,i])))]
#???? [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
#[1,]??? 2?? 13?? 34?? 17
#[2,]?? 19??? 3?? 15?? 39
#[3,]??? 4?? 25?? 10?? 16
#[4,]??? 7?? 22??? 5??? 7
#[5,]?? 12?? 10?? 35??? 6

#2nd case
set.seed(46)
arr2<- array(sample(c(1:40,NA),60,replace=TRUE),dim=c(5,4,3))
arr2[,,sapply(seq(dim(arr2)[3]),function(i) all(!is.na(arr2[,,i])))]
#, , 1

#???? [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
#[1,]??? 8?? 27?? 11?? 28
#[2,]?? 10?? 37??? 5?? 40
#[3,]?? 24?? 25?? 28??? 6
#[4,]?? 15?? 37??? 3?? 25
#[5,]?? 10?? 39?? 32?? 23

#, , 2
#
???? [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
#[1,]?? 14??? 2??? 8?? 27
#[2,]?? 10?? 39?? 37??? 4
#[3,]??? 9?? 36?? 15??? 6

It is not clear what the dimension of your array is.

If your array/matrix is two dimensional, then then

any(is.na(A))  # A is the name of the array/matrix

will return TRUE is at least one element of A is NA. And then you can delete A.

If you array has three dimensions then you'll have to look at arun's
solution.
