Delete empty rows before column names start on excel spreadsheet using python

My column names on a spreadsheet start on row 2, row 1 is completely blank.
When I try to delete it, it also deletes column names on row 2 and only keeps first column name.
Any idea of what I am doing wrong?

Original file

|          |          |
| Column A | Column B |
| Cell 1   | Cell 2   |
| Cell 3   | Cell 4   |

Expected output

Current output

I have tried:
openpyxl

sheet.delete_rows(1)

pandas

df = df.drop(index=0)

If you have the following data layout and want to delete the first row;

The following code shown for using Openpyxl and Pandas, is all that's needed.

from openpyxl import load_workbook
import pandas as pd

# Openpyxl
wb = load_workbook('foo.xlsx')

wb['Sheet1'].delete_rows(1)

wb.save('foo_openpyxl.xlsx')


# Pandas
df = pd.read_excel('foo.xlsx')
df.to_excel('foo_pandas.xlsx', header=False, index=False)

For Pandas since row 1 will be the default header, writing back to Excel without the header will remove row 1.

The output from both is the same;
