Answer 1

Or you could nest the data in cols 4 and 5 into a single row with tidyr:

library(tidyr)
df %>% nest(V4:V5)

# A tibble: 1 × 4
#                      V1    V2    V3             data
#                               
#1 platform_external_dbus   202    16 

The col 2 and 3 duplicates are now removed for statistical analysis, but you have kept the col 4 and 5 data in a tibble and can go back to the original data frame at any point with unnest().
