Why remove() function does't work?

both with a string and with a variable it seems not to work. What am I doing wrong?

API

wixData.remove("myCollection", "00001")
  .then( (results) => {
    let item = results; //see item below
  } )
  .catch( (err) => {
    let errorMsg = err;
  } );

My code option 1

let theImageToRemove = itemData.image3

wixData.remove("Prodotti", theImageToRemove)
  .then( (results) => {
 let item = results; 
    console.log("Results: " + results)
  } )
  .catch( (err) => {
 let errorMsg = err;
  } );

My code option 2

let theImageToRemove = itemData.image3

wixData.remove("Prodotti", "wix:image://v1/14f014_9151ad2ba9e1495a9dc061064e7c120c~mv2.jpg/AdobeStock_270808675.jpg#originWidth=10000&originHeight=9996")
  .then( (results) => {
 let item = results; 
    console.log("Results: " + results)
  } )
  .catch( (err) => {
 let errorMsg = err;
  } );

Hi Alessandro,

The remove function removes the whole record. To remove an image you could do something like this. The example presumes that you know the _id of the record that you want to alter.

wixData.get("Prodotti","6d2956ef-0ed9-44ee-a3ab-8d1a9d176364")
    .then((result) => {
        result.picture = "";
        wixData.update("Prodotti", result)
        .then((updateResult) => {
            console.log("updated");
        })
    })

Thanks a lot for the answer! I have tried your solution and it works!
Obviously in the collection I get this error (see attached image).

Is there any way to prevent it from showing up? In any case, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Instead of:

result.picture = "";

do something like:

delete result.picture;

It works! Thank you @jonatandor35 !
