# removeAssets(_:)

Removes the specified assets from the asset collection.

## Declaration

```swift
func removeAssets(_ assets: any NSFastEnumeration)
```

## Parameters

- `assets`: An array of doc://com.apple.photokit/documentation/Photos/PHAsset objects to be removed from the asset collection.

## Discussion

Discussion This method removes assets from the collection based on their identity (determined by the localIdentifier property of each asset). To remove objects at specified indexes, use the removeAssets(at:) method. note: Transient asset collections (such as those created with the transientAssetCollection(with:title:) method) do not support adding or removing content.
