Hi, I have a large array. I want to delete certain elements in the array. I want to delete the 390th element, and then after that every 391th element......
So need to delete 390, 781, 1182 etc..........

So when you say "array", you mean a 1-D vector?
X = randn(49121,1);
indices = 390:391:length(X);
X(indices) = [];
length(X)

X = randn(100,100);
% not sure how far you want the vector to go
indices = 390:391:1e4;
X(indices) = [];
Then you'll need to reshape X into an array. Or you can just replace the elements with NaNs
X = randn(100,100);
% not sure how far you want the vector to go
X(indices) = NaN;

it is 49121 array, and does not seem to be working. So this 49121 array would minus 125 elements and would be just less than 4900 then

Yes. 48996 to be precise, just like it does give you in the 1D version above.
