+        The `remove_unused_levels` method is useful in cases where you have a
+        MultiIndex with hierarchical levels, but some of these levels are no
+        longer needed due to filtering or subsetting operations. By removing
+        the unused levels, the resulting MultiIndex becomes more compact and
+        efficient, which can improve performance in subsequent operations.
