    Remove elements from the document based on a selector or list of selectors.

    :param selector: Selector object or Selector iterable.

    if not hasattr(selector, '__iter__'):
        selector = [selector]

    for sel in selector:
        sel.root.getparent().remove(sel.root)

please guide for this error 'str' object has no attribute 'root'

Hey @farheenfathima96,

1. This pull request was merged into parsel (Scrapy dependency) so now you can run it directly from Scrapy/Parsel selectors 😃
2. You're probably getting this error because you're trying to remove an element without parent or the document's root.
3. If you're selecting a.my-link::text try using a.my-link instead – for example.

Hi victor-torres ,
