# Method name:

data.items.remove(dataCollectionId: string, itemId: string, options: WixDataRemoveOptions)

# Method Link:

https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/business-solutions/data/items/remove.md

# Method Description:

Removes an item from a collection.

The `remove()` method returns a Promise that resolves to the removed item
after it has been removed from the specified collection. The Promise is
rejected if the current user does not have "delete" permissions for the
collection.

Calling the `remove()` method triggers the [`beforeRemove()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-data/hooks/before-remove.md) and [`afterRemove()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-data/hooks/after-remove.md) hooks if they have been defined.


> **Note:** The `remove()` method also clears multiple-item reference fields for items in collections referenced by the specified item. For example, suppose you have a **Movies** collection with an **Actors** field that contains multiple references to items in a **People** collection. Removing an item in the **Movies** collection also clears the data in the corresponding multiple-item reference fields in the **People** collection.
