Introduction:

In this tutorial, we are going to explain how to use the Python string delete del() function with basic syntax and many examples for better understanding.

Python string delete – del() is used to perform deletion operation, the del () function is used in the string. Using this function, we can delete the entire string variable only.

This article will answer the following questions:

• How to delete variable in Python?
• How to delete a string object in Python?

Syntax:

del (<String_variable_name>)

Input Parameters:

• string_variable_name : where string is a string variable which we need to delete it.

Example:

#delete whole string
mystr='I like python'
del (mystr)
print(mystr)

Output of example 1

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:/Users/Desktop/exam.py”, line 4, in
print(mystr)
NameError: name ‘mystr’ is not defined

In the above example, we apply to delete operation on the string variable as mystr. We are deleting the whole string by del (mystr) so, the output displays an error as the name ‘mystr’ is not defined because ‘mystr’ is already deleted in the previous step.

Note: In string, element deletion is not possible. but there is another workaround to tweak 🙂 think of it and let us know what you get in the comments?
