**`remove()`** is a Mongoose function that removes a given path or paths from a document. It removes the path based on the passed argument.

A **path** is a field in a document present in a database or collection.

# 
## Syntax
```js
Schema.remove(path)
```
## Parameter
**`path`**: this is the path you want to be removed.

## Return value
A schema instance is returned.

## Code 


// import mongoose
const mongoose = require("mongoose");

// creating a product Schema with mongoose
let Product = mongoose.model("Item", new mongoose.Schema({
    name: String,
    category: Number,
    price: Number,
    tag: String
  })
)

// check if product Educative.io
// exists with the exists() method
let product = await Product.remove("category"); 

console.log(product.path("category"))   // Undefined


## Explanation

In the example below, we create a Product Schema and remove the `category` path with the `remove()` function. Then we log out the removed path to see if it still exists.




After the successful removal of the "category" path, `Undefined` is returned when you try and find the path again.
