Remove Specified Index
The pop[] method removes the specified index.

thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

If you do not specify the index, the pop[] method removes the last item.
Example
Remove the last item:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist.pop[]
print[thislist]
Try it Yourself »
thislist.pop[]
print[thislist]
The del keyword also removes the specified index:
Example
Remove the first item:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
del thislist[0]
print[thislist]

print[thislist]
The del keyword can also delete the list completely.
Example
Delete the entire list:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
del thislist
Try it Yourself »
del thislist
Clear the List
The clear[] method empties the list.
The list still remains, but it has no content.

Clear the list content:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist.clear[]
print[thislist]
Try it Yourself »
thislist.clear[]
print[thislist]
