# --description--

Now let's remove an HTML element from your page using jQuery.

jQuery has a function called `.remove()` that will remove an HTML element entirely

Remove the `#target4` element from the page by using the `.remove()` function.

# --hints--

You should use jQuery to remove your `target4` element from your page.

```js
assert(
  $('#target4').length === 0 && code.match(/\$\(["']#target4["']\).remove\(\)/g)
);
```

You should only use jQuery to remove this element.

```js
assert(
  code.match(/id="target4/g) &&
    !code.match(/<!--.*id="target4".*-->/g) &&
    $('#right-well').length > 0
);
```
