How to remove last element from cell array in Matlab?

Documented method does not work:

>> A = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
A =
  1×3 cell array
    'a'    'b'    'c'
>> A{end}=[]
A =
  1×3 cell array
    'a'    'b'    []

I need array become 1x2.

You have to use round parentheses instead of curly braces (which act on the inner cell values and not on the cells themselves):

A(end) = [];

For more details, refer to the last section of the official documentation you linked:
