How can I delete rows by their name in a TABLE

Hi, I want to delete some variables which are in rows. The problem is that my files has different number of rows and I don't know in every file which number of row corresponds to that variable. In this example i want to delete the following variables: "FILTER" and "STD4s".

Supose my table name is "a". When I use the command MATLAB gives me this error.

a(a.Type = 'EQU',:) = [];

Error: Incorrect use of '=' operator. To assign a value to a variable, use '='. To compare

values for equality, use '=='.

When I rectify the previous code introducing ==, que error is the following:

Undefined operator '==' for input arguments of type 'cell'.

Can you help me? Thanks!

MATLAB version: R2019B

idx = strcmp(a.Type,'EQU') ; % gt the indices which has EQU
T(idx,:) = []  ; % remove the rows
