Python - Remove List Items

Remove Specified Item

The remove() method removes the specified item.

Example

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

thislist.remove("banana")

print(thislist)

If there are more than one item with the specified value, the remove() method removes the first occurrence:

Example

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

thislist.remove("banana")

print(thislist)

Remove Specified Index

The pop() method removes the specified index.

Example

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

thislist.pop(1)

print(thislist)

If you do not specify the index, the pop() method removes the last item.

Example

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

thislist.pop()

print(thislist)

The del keyword also removes the specified index:

Example

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

del
thislist[0]
print(thislist)

The del keyword can also delete the list completely.

Example

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

del
thislist

Clear the List

The clear() method empties the list.

The list still remains, but it has no content.

Example

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

thislist.clear()
print(thislist)
