# removeFromSuperviewWithoutNeedingDisplay()

Unlinks the view from its superview and its window and removes it from the responder chain, but does not invalidate its cursor rectangles to cause redrawing.

## Declaration

```swift
func removeFromSuperviewWithoutNeedingDisplay()
```

## Discussion

Discussion The view is also released; if you plan to reuse it, be sure to retain it before sending this message and to release it as appropriate when adding it as a subview of another view. Unlike its counterpart, removeFromSuperview(), this method can be safely invoked during display.
