# Method name: removeElement(selector: string)

# Method package: wixEditor

# Method menu location: wixEditor --> removeElement

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/velo-only-apis/wix-editor/remove-element.md

# Method Description:

Removes a widget element from the stage.

The `removeElement()` function returns a Promise that is resolved when the element is removed. You can only remove elements that are part of the widget with which the panel is associated.  
The element selector is a string with the hash symbol (`#`) followed by the ID of the item you want to select (for example, `"#myElement"`). To use this function on an inner (nested) widget, use [`getScopedWixEditor()`](#getScopedWixEditor).



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Use a toggle switch to remove/restore a widget element

```javascript
// In this example, we use a toggle switch to remove or restore an element in our widget.

import wixEditor from 'wix-editor';

$w.onReady(async function () {
 $w('#toggleSwitch').onClick(async (event) => {
   if (event.target.value) {
      await wixEditor.removeElement('#title');
   } else {
     await wixEditor.restoreElement('#title');
        }
  });
});
```
