# renderer(_:didRemove:for:)

Tells the delegate that the SceneKit node corresponding to a removed AR anchor has been removed from the scene.

## Declaration

```swift
optional func renderer(_ renderer: any SCNSceneRenderer, didRemove node: SCNNode, for anchor: ARAnchor)
```

## Parameters

- `renderer`: The doc://com.apple.arkit/documentation/ARKit/ARSCNView object rendering the scene.
- `node`: The removed SceneKit node.
- `anchor`: The AR anchor corresponding to the node.

## Discussion

Discussion Depending on the session configuration, ARKit may automatically remove anchors from a session. The view calls this method once for each removed anchor.
