REMOVE is used to remove attributes from node and relationships, in addition to | ||
removing labels from nodes. | ||

# REMOVE | ||
|
||
## Example graph | ||
|
||
```cypher | ||
CREATE | ||
(billy :Player {name: 'Billy', score: 84}), | ||
(andy :Player {name: 'Andy', score: 21}), | ||
(lori :Player:Admin {name: 'Lori', score: 90}) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Remove attributes | ||
|
||
The following query removes the 'score' attribute from the node | ||
representing Andy. | ||
|
||
```cypher | ||
MATCH (n {name: 'Andy'}) | ||
REMOVE n.score | ||
RETURN n.name, n.score | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Result: | ||
|n.name|n.score| | ||
|------|-------| | ||
|"Andy"| Null | | ||
|
||
|
||
## Remove a label from a node | ||
|
||
To remove a label from a node use the REMOVE clause as follows: | ||
|
||
```cypher | ||
MATCH (n {name: 'Lori'}) | ||
REMOVE n:Admin | ||
RETURN n.name, labels(n) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Result: | ||
|n.name|labels(n)| | ||
|------|--------| | ||
|"Lori"|[Player]| | ||
|
||
|
||
## Removing multiple labels from a node | ||
|
||
Similar to removing a single label from a node we can use the REMOVE clause | ||
to remove multiple labels in one go | ||
|
||
```cypher | ||
MATCH (n :Player {name: 'Lori'}) | ||
REMOVE n:Admin:Player | ||
RETURN n.name, labels(n) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Result: | ||
|n.name|labels(n)| | ||
|------|--------| | ||
|"Lori"|[] | |
