Removing Elements from End of a JavaScript Array

var ar = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);
ar.length = 4; // set length to remove elements
console.log( ar ); // [1, 2, 3, 4]

var ar = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);
ar.pop();  // returns 6
console.log( ar );  // (1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Removing Elements from Beginning of a JavaScript Array

var ar = ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three'];

ar.shift();   //return "zero"

console.log(ar);  //['one', 'two', 'three'];

Using Splice to Remove Array Elements in JavaScript

var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0);
var removed = arr.splice(2,2);

// The splice method can also be used to remove a range of elements from an array.

var list = ["bar", "baz", "foo", "qux"];
list.splice(0, 2);

// Starting at index position 0, remove two elements ["bar", "baz") and retains ["foo", "qux"].

Removing Array Items By Value Using Splice

var arr = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0);
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
    if ( arr[i] = 5) {
        arr.spliceſi, 1);
    }
}

//⇒  (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0]

Using the Array filter Method to Remove Items By Value

var array = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0);

var filtered = array.filter(function(value, index, arr){
    return value > 5;
});

//filtered = [6, 7, 8, 9]
//array → [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0]

The Lodash Array Remove Method

var array = [1, 2, 3, 4];
//will find even numbers.
var evens = _.remove(array, function(n) { return n %2 =0;});

console.log(array);
// = (1, 3] console.log(evens);  // = [2, 4]

Explicitly Remove Array Elements Using the Delete Operator

var ar = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);

delete ar[4];   // delete element with index 4

console.log( ar ); 
 // [1, 2, 3, 4, undefined, 6]

TO PEN DOWN, Removing JavaScript Array items is important to managing your data. There is not a single ‘remove’ method available, but there are different methods and techniques you can use to purge unwanted array items/elements.
