A = A([1, 3:end), [1, 3:end]);

or

A(2,:) = [];
A(:,2) = [];

You cannot use the [] delete operator on both rows and columns at the same time.

thanks a lot to you Walter Roberson the second command correct but why the first code make error in matlab with me this is the error message ( Unbalanced or unexpected parenthesis or bracket.)

Try

A = A([1, 3:end], [1, 3:end]);
