## jQuery.removeData( element [, name ] )Returns: jQuery

Description: Remove a previously-stored piece of data.

- #### version added: 1.2.3 jQuery.removeData( element [, name ] )

  - element
    Type: Element
    A DOM element from which to remove data.
  - name
    Type: String
    A string naming the piece of data to remove.

Note: This is a low-level method, you should probably use `.removeData()` instead.

The `jQuery.removeData()` method allows us to remove values that were previously set using `jQuery.data()`. When called with the name of a key, `jQuery.removeData()` deletes that particular value; when called with no arguments, all values are removed.

## Example:

Set a data store for 2 names then remove one of them.
