Hi,

and I have no *.tsv file -- what should I do ?

But to drop the first column you can use
lst = {{a, b, c},
            {1, 2, 3},
            {\[Alpha], \[Beta], \[Chi]}}

Rest  /@ lst

or

Drop[#, 1] & /@ lst

or

Take[#, -Length[#] + 1] & /@ lst

or

Transpose[Rest[Transpose[lst]]]

or

Reverse[Most[Reverse[#]]] & /@ lst

or

lst /. v_?VectorQ :> Rest[v]
