Thanks a lot!!!
the "drop" thing was exactly what I was looking for (I already used it some
time ago but forgot about it).
Thanks to everybody else too.

I do the following for a subsetted dataframe:
cleanfactors <- function(mydf){
outdf<-mydf
for (i in 1:dim(mydf)[2]){
if (is.factor(mydf[,i]))
outdf[,i]<-factor(mydf[,i])
}
outdf
}

Hello,
I hope this question is not too stupid. I would like to know how to update
levels after subsetting data from a data.frame.
df <- data.frame(factor(c("a","a","c","b","b")), c(4,5,6,7,8), c(9,1,2,3,4))
names(df) <- c("X1","X2","X3")
my.sub <- subset(df, X1 == "a" | X1 == "b")
levels(my.s
