## Declaration

```swift
@IBAction func remove(_ sender: Any?)
```

## Parameters

- `sender`: Typically the object that invoked this method.

## Discussion

Discussion Removes the receiver’s content object using removeObject(_:). Special Considerations Beginning with OS X v10.4 the result of this method is deferred until the next iteration of the runloop so that the error presentation mechanism can provide feedback as a sheet.
