Omitting the first line from any Linux command output

I have a requirement where i’d like to omit the 1st line from the output of ls -latr "some path" Since I need to remove total 136 from the below output

enter image description here

So I wrote ls -latr /home/kjatin1/DT_901_linux//autoInclude/system | tail -q which excluded the 1st line, but when the folder is empty it does not omit it. Please tell me how to omit 1st line in any linux command output

Pipe it to awk:

awk '{if(NR>1)print}'

or sed

sed -n '1!p'
