# removeAssets(at:)

Removes the assets at the specified indexes from the asset collection.

## Declaration

```swift
func removeAssets(at indexes: IndexSet)
```

## Parameters

- `indexes`: The indexes of the assets to be removed from the asset collection.

## Discussion

Discussion To ensure that the index set you specify is valid even if the asset collection has changed since you fetched it, create a change request with a snapshot of the asset collection’s contents using the init(for:assets:) method before removing assets. To remove objects based on their identities (without regard to their indexes in the collection), use the removeAssets(_:) method. note: Transient asset collections (such as those created with the transientAssetCollection(with:title:) method) do not support adding or removing content.
