Delete some matrix rows that contain zero values in some part

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use any function to eliminate some rows of my matrix as shown below

31251	31252	31261	31260	31372	31373	31382	31381	3	3	0	0	0	0
31252	31253	31262	31261	31373	31374	31383	31382	3	3	0	0	0	0
31253	31254	31263	31262	31374	31375	31384	31383	3	3	0	0	0	0
31254	31212	31213	31263	31375	31333	31334	31384	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
31260	31261	31270	31269	31381	31382	31391	31390	3	3	0	0	0	0
31261	31262	31271	31270	31382	31383	31392	31391	3	3	0	0	0	0
31262	31263	31272	31271	31383	31384	31393	31392	3	3	0	0	0	0

I want to Eliminate zero values that contains in column 1 to column 8 and get the result as

31251	31252	31261	31260	31372	31373	31382	31381	3	3	0	0	0	0
31252	31253	31262	31261	31373	31374	31383	31382	3	3	0	0	0	0
31253	31254	31263	31262	31374	31375	31384	31383	3	3	0	0	0	0
31254	31212	31213	31263	31375	31333	31334	31384	3	3	0	0	0	0
31260	31261	31270	31269	31381	31382	31391	31390	3	3	0	0	0	0
31261	31262	31271	31270	31382	31383	31392	31391	3	3	0	0	0	0
31262	31263	31272	31271	31383	31384	31393	31392	3	3	0	0	0	0

Try this

idx = any(A(:,1:8), 2);
A = A(idx, :);

A = [
31251	31252	31261	31260	31372	31373	31382	31381	3	3	0	0	0	0
31252	31253	31262	31261	31373	31374	31383	31382	3	3	0	0	0	0
31253	31254	31263	31262	31374	31375	31384	31383	3	3	0	0	0	0
31254	31212	31213	31263	31375	31333	31334	31384	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	3	0	0	0	0
31260	31261	31270	31269	31381	31382	31391	31390	3	3	0	0	0	0
31261	31262	31271	31270	31382	31383	31392	31391	3	3	0	0	0	0
31262	31263	31272	31271	31383	31384	31393	31392	3	3	0	0	0	0];

idx = any(A(:,1:8), 2);
A = A(idx, :);

Result
