# Rows.Remove

Delete a row from a data extension.

**note:** This function times out if it runs for too long. The maximum number of rows that you can delete depends on the size of the data extension, system load, and other factors. For large deletion requests, we recommend that you implement a batching process.

## Syntax

```
Rows.Remove(1, 2)
```

## Properties

| Ordinal | Type   | Description                                                       |
| ------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `1`     | String | Required. The columns to search for the specified value.          |
| `2`     | String | Required. The field value used to determine which rows to delete. |

## Usage

This example removes all of the rows from the `MembershipRewards` data extension where the value in the `Area` column is `Kensington`.

```js
<script runat="server">
  Platform.Load("Core","1");
  var memberDE = DataExtension.Init("MembershipRewards");
  var result = memberDE.Rows.Remove(["Area"], ["Kensington"]);
</script>
<p>Rows deleted: <ctrl:var name="result" /></p>
```

The only item in the response is the number of rows that were modified.
