The remove() method of the DOMTokenList interface removes the specified tokens from the list.

Syntax

Examples

In the following example we retrieve the list of classes set on a <span> element as a DOMTokenList using Element.classList. We then remove a token from the list, and write the list into the <span>'s Node.textContent.

First, the HTML:

<div id="ab" class="a b c"></div>
<div id="a" class="a b c"></div>

Now the JavaScript:

let span = document.getElementById("ab");
let classes = span.classList;
classes.remove("c");
span.textContent = classes;

To remove multiple classes at once, you can supply multiple tokens. The order you supply the tokens doesn't have to match the order they appear in the list:

let span2 = document.getElementById("a")
let classes2 = span2.classList;

classes2.remove("c", "b");
span2.textContent = classes2;

The output looks like this:
