What is the most efficient and direct way to remove something from a table?

[ValueKing]

I’m not sure if this is answering your question but:

There are two ways of removing something, either through

table.remove

or making the value nil inside the table

MyDataTable[2] = nil

The difference between the both is that table.remove completely removes it but the indexing method just removes the value.

This forum post is also useful to understand the comparisons

Removing Value From Table

Which way should I use to remove a value from a table? local Table = {"a","b","c"} table.remove(Table,1) or Table[1] = nil Would one of these ways be able to cause a memory leak?
