To remove a list element, you can use either the del statement if you know exactly which element(s) you are deleting. You can use the remove() method if you do not know exactly which items to delete. Refer to the following example:

#!/usr/bin/python3
cities = ['Mumbai', 'Bangalore', 'Chennai', 'Pune']
print ("Before deleting: ", cities)
del cities[2]
print ("After deleting: ", cities)

Output:
Before deleting: ['Mumbai', 'Bangalore', 'Chennai', 'Pune']
After deleting: ['Mumbai', 'Bangalore', 'Pune']
