REMOVE

Example graph

CREATE
    (billy :Player {name: 'Billy', score: 84}),
    (andy :Player {name: 'Andy', score: 21}),
    (lori :Player:Admin {name: 'Lori', score: 90})

Remove attributes

The following query removes the ‘score’ attribute from the node representing Andy.

MATCH (n {name: 'Andy'})
REMOVE n.score
RETURN n.name, n.score

Result:

n.name	n.score
“Andy”	Null

Remove a label from a node

To remove a label from a node use the REMOVE clause as follows:

MATCH (n {name: 'Lori'})
REMOVE n:Admin
RETURN n.name, labels(n)

Result:

n.name	labels(n)
“Lori”	[Player]

Removing multiple labels from a node

Similar to removing a single label from a node we can use the REMOVE clause to remove multiple labels in one go

MATCH (n :Player {name: 'Lori'})
REMOVE n:Admin:Player
RETURN n.name, labels(n)

Result:

n.name	labels(n)
“Lori”	[]
