# Removable Chip

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

The following example removes a ChipList item when a user clicks the remove icon or presses `Delete` while the Chip has focus. It uses uncontrolled `defaultDataItems`, so the ChipList updates its own data. For a standalone Chip, handle [`onRemove`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/buttons/api/chipprops#onremove) and update your application state.
