Remove NAs from spatial dataframe

Question

I want to remove NAs from "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame". Traditional df approach and subsetting (mentioned above) does not work here, because it is a different type of a df. I tried to remove NAs as for traditional df and failed. The firsta answer, which also good for traditional df, does not work for spatial. I combine csv and a shape file below

countries <- readOGR(".","ne_50m_admin_0_countries")

I receive

class(data_pg_df)
[1] "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame"
attr(,"package")
[1] "sp"

When I try to create a simple leaflet map, NAs create a problem.

[1] NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA    
[13] NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     "SSA"  "SSA"  NA    
[25] NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA 

I tried to remove NAs with sp.na.omit() , but receive an error

Error in sp.na.omit(data_pg_df) : could not find function "sp.na.omit"

Shape also does not work. My goal is remove NAs and have a clean map with polygons

Thanks!

have you loaded the ' spatialEco ' library? after you loaded the library, try this

df <- sp.na.omit(data_pg_df, margin = 1)
