Recently I made a theme for my WordPress blog. Now I want to filter(remove) my 5 latest post from the main page (index.php) and show them in a slider.
Now my 5 latest posts are showing in the first page and slider simultaneously 🙁

Update:

Thanks for your reply.
I couldn’t solve my problem.
this is my index.php source:

<?php get_header() ?>

<div id="main-wrapper">
    <div class="middle-content">
        <div id="sidebar-right">
            <?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-right')) : else : ?>
            <?php endif; ?>
        </div>
        <section class="clearfix" id="content">
            <section id="main-content">
                <?php echo get_touchcarousel(2); ?>
                <div class="mainnews"><h2>Latest News</h2></div>
                <div class="main-menu-content">
                    <?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
                        <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                            <article id="etc" class="post<?php the_category_unlinked(' '); ?>">
                                <div class="post-content">
                                    <div class="post-title">
                                        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1></a>
                                    </div>
                                    <div class="clear"></div>
                                    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                                    <?php the_post_thumbnail(array(260,140), array ()); ?>
                                </div>
                                <div class="clear"></div>
                            </article>

                        <?php endwhile; ?>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                </div>
                <?php if(function_exists('wp_simple_pagination')) {
                    wp_simple_pagination();
                } ?>
            </section> 
            <div id="sidebar-left">
                <?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-left')) : else : ?>
                <?php endif; ?>
            </div>
        </section>
    </div>
    <div class="clear"></div>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>
</div>
</section>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
