How to remove a UIView from its superview with removeFromSuperview()
Swift version: 5.1
If you created a view dynamically and want it gone, it's a one-liner in Swift thanks to the removeFromSuperview() method. When you call this, the view gets removed immediately and possibly also destroyed – it will only be kept around if you have a reference to it elsewhere. Here's how it's done:
yourView.removeFromSuperview()
