How it works
- Choose remove by value or by position.
- By value, every equal item is removed unless you turn off the advanced "every copy" option; the number 3 matches the text "3", and text is case-sensitive.
- By position, 1 is the first item and -1 the last; a position outside the list fails the step and says how many items there are.
- It returns the new list, its count and how many items were removed.

Questions
- Does Remove from list remove all matching items?
- Yes by default. Turn off the advanced option to remove only the first match.
- Why did removing by position fail?
- The position was outside the list. The message tells you how many items the list has.
