how can we remove the rows from xts based on the seconds criteria

I have a problem. i want to delete some rows from the large data set. The problem is I have data of every 30 sec but I only want to go up to per minute. So, I want to remove the rows which have 30 sec init. for better understanding, I am attaching an example with the expected outcome that I want.

time                        value

what I want to be like that

time                        value
2021-11-04 05:57:00         0.0

every row with 30 sec init should be deleted from the data set.

>Solution :

You can first truncate the time and then remove duplicates. Since the 30 second elements are the non-unique elements, they get removed:

library(xts)
xts3 <- xts(x=rnorm(10), order.by=as.POSIXct(strptime("2021-11-04 05:57:00", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")+1:10*30), born=as.POSIXct("1899-05-08"))

# Round observations in z to the next hour
index(xts3) <- as.POSIXct(trunc(index(xts3), units="mins"))

# Remove duplicate times in z
xts3_dup <- make.index.unique(xts3, drop = TRUE)
