How to Delete Multiple Elements From a List in Python

There can be cases where you do not want to remove just one element from a list, but many elements in one step.

In this case, the remove() method does not help us since it simply removes the first instance that it finds.

Let us take a list as an example:

 my_list = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g"]

Let us assume that we want to delete c and d from that list. We can do that in the following way where we omit cd and d entirely:

 my_list = my_list[:2] + my_list[4:]

To remove multiple elements in just one step, we need to actually use del method.

 del my_list[2:4]
 ​
 print(my_list)  # ['a', 'b', 'e', 'f', 'g']

That’s pretty much it.

I hope you find this useful.
