# Remove variable mode

> Learn how to remove a variable mode.

## `mode.remove()`

Remove a variable mode from a collection

#

### Syntax

```typescript
mode.remove(): Promise<boolean>
```

### Returns

**Promise\<*boolean*>**

A Promise that resolves to boolean.

#

### Example

```typescript
// Get Collection
const collection = await webflow.getDefaultVariableCollection()

// Get Variable Mode
const variableMode = await collection?.getVariableModeByName(modeName)

// Remove Variable Mode
variableMode?.remove()
```

> **Note**
>
> The base mode can't be removed. Calling `remove()` on a collection's base mode rejects with a `VariableModeInvalid` error, so guard against it when removing modes programmatically.
