Python - remove list items

In this article, we would like to show you how to remove items from the list in Python.

Quick solution:

my_list = ['A', 'B', 'C']

# remove by index
my_list.pop(1)

print(my_list)  # ['A', 'C']

or

my_list = ['A', 'B', 'C']

#remove by name
my_list.remove('B')

print(my_list)  # ['A', 'C']

1. Remove item by index

In this example, we use pop() method to remove item with specified index.

my_list = ['A', 'B', 'C']
my_list.pop(1)

print(my_list)  # ['A', 'C']

Output:

['A', 'C']

2. Remove item by value

In this example, we use remove() method to remove item with specific value.

my_list = ['A', 'B', 'C']
my_list.remove('B')

print(my_list)  # ['A', 'C']

Output:

['A', 'C']

3. Clear the list

In this example, we use clear() method to remove all items from the list.

my_list = ['A', 'B', 'C']
my_list.clear()

print(my_list)  # []

Output:

[]
