Well, once you've got the right content in memory, then just rewrite the file. But, specifically on that has some bearing on the content for easy ways.
But, if that is the only thing you care to do, then the simplest irrespective of what the file content is, is probably
fidi=fopen('oldfile.txt','r');
fido=fopen('newfile.txt','w');
headerlines=2;
for i=1:headerlines,fgetl(fidi);end % skip the desired number
buf=fread(fidi,'*char'); % suck up the rest as image
fwrite(fido,buf) % and spit it out verbatim
fclose('all') % done
%delete('oldfile.txt') % optionally remove the original keeping new
%movefile('newfile.txt','oldfile.txt') % optionally rename new to old (only new left as oldfile name)

Of course, one can just use
...
fwrite(fido,fread(fidi,'*char')); % suck up the rest as image and spit it out verbatim
...

Ivan - perhaps try using importdata and indicate the number of header lines that should be ignored when reading in the file.

Ivan - do you have to use fopen or can you use writematrix on your input? Assuming that your text file contains numeric data only then
filename = 'data.txt';
delimeter = ','; % <---- assumes comma separated columns
A = importdata(filename, delimeter, 2);
writematrix(A, filename, 'Delimiter', delimeter);
The above assumes comma separated columns. If this isn't the case, then you can change it to whatever character separates the columns. If there is no delimeter, then this method probably won't work.

Or, readtable.
But, starting with the above simply
file=regexp(fileread('data.txt'), '\r?\n', 'split') .';
file=file(3:end);
Not knowing content of the file, or the next steps, hard to know what's the best approach but one would think unless it is just a list of string data in one column that it would be far better to interpret the file on input than just read characters.
