# removeFromPreferences(completionHandler:)

Remove your DNS settings configuration from the system networking preferences.

## Declaration

```swift
func removeFromPreferences(completionHandler: @escaping @Sendable ((any Error)?) -> Void)
```

```swift
func removeFromPreferences() async throws
```

## Parameters

- `completionHandler`: An optional block that takes an doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSError object. If specified, this block runs on your application’s main thread after your configuration is removed. If an error occurs while removing the configuration, the block returns an NSError object.

## Discussion

Discussion After you remove your configuration, the NEDNSSettingsManager object still contains the configuration parameters. Calling loadFromPreferences(completionHandler:) clears out the configuration parameters from the NEDNSSettingsManager object.
