jQuery remove() Method

The jQuery remove() method removes the selected elements from the DOM as well as everything inside it. In addition to the elements themselves, all bound events and jQuery data associated with the elements are removed.

The following example will remove all the <p> elements with the class 'hint' from the DOM on button click. Nested elements inside these paragraphs will be removed, too.

jQuery unwrap() Method (Removing parent)

The jQuery unwrap() method removes the parent elements of the selected elements from the DOM. This is typically the inverse of the wrap() method.

The following example will remove the parent element of <p> elements on button click.

jQuery removeAttr() Method

The jQuery removeAttr() method removes an attribute from the selected elements.

The example below will remove the 'href' attribute form the <a> elements on button click.
