# remove(_:mode:completionHandler:)

Removes a domain from the File Provider extension using the specified options.

## Declaration

```swift
class func remove(_ domain: NSFileProviderDomain, mode: NSFileProviderManager.DomainRemovalMode, completionHandler: @escaping @Sendable (URL?, (any Error)?) -> Void)
```

```swift
class func remove(_ domain: NSFileProviderDomain, mode: NSFileProviderManager.DomainRemovalMode) async throws -> URL?
```

## Parameters

- `domain`: The domain to remove.
- `mode`: An option that determines how the system handles user data. For a complete list of options, see doc://com.apple.fileprovider/documentation/FileProvider/NSFileProviderManager/DomainRemovalMode.
- `completionHandler`: A block that the system calls after removing the domain. It takes the following parameter:

## Discussion

Discussion important: You can call this method from synchronous code using a completion handler, as shown on this page, or you can call it as an asynchronous method that has the following declaration: class func remove(_ domain: NSFileProviderDomain, mode: NSFileProviderManager.DomainRemovalMode) async throws -> URL? For information about concurrency and asynchronous code in Swift, see Calling Objective-C APIs Asynchronously.
