# matplotlib.axis.Axis.remove

`Axis.``remove`()

  Remove the artist from the figure if possible. The effect will not be visible until the figure is redrawn, e.g., with `matplotlib.axes.Axes.draw_idle()`. Call `matplotlib.axes.Axes.relim()` to update the axes limits if desired.

  Note: `relim()` will not see collections even if the collection was added to axes with autolim = True.

  Note: there is no support for removing the artist’s legend entry.
