Remove Item

There are several methods to remove items from a list:

Example

The remove() method removes the specified item:

thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

thislist.remove("banana")

print(thislist)

Example

The pop() method removes the specified index, (or the last item if index is not specified):

thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

thislist.pop()

print(thislist)

Example

The del keyword removes the specified index:

thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

del thislist[0]

print(thislist)

Example

The del keyword can also delete the list completely:

thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

del thislist

Example

The clear() method empties the list:

thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

thislist.clear()

print(thislist)
