# Removable Chip

By default, the Kendo UI for Angular Chip is not removable. Set [`removable`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/buttons/api/chipcomponent#removable) to `true` to display its remove icon. When a user clicks the remove icon or presses `Delete` or `Backspace` while the removable Chip has focus, the Chip fires its [`remove`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/buttons/api/chipcomponent#remove) event.

The following example removes a Chip from a ChipList when a user clicks the remove icon or presses `Delete` while the Chip has focus. The ChipList fires its [`remove`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/buttons/api/chiplistcomponent#remove) event, and the handler updates the data that the Chips render from. For a standalone Chip, handle the Chip `remove` event and update your application data.
