# How to remove node from node group in Erlang?

I am new in Erlang programming. My [problem](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81399/tackling-the-problem-of-unemployment-during-corona-pandemic) is how can I [remove](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/4554/8-harmful-weeds-to-remove-from-garden) a [particular node](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/62/reading-particular-node-data-from-xml) from the [nodes](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2242/on-thursday-google-cloud-announced-the-debut-of-its-own-node-hosting-service-for-web3-developers) group. The node I want to remove is replicating their [data](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13050/salesforce-aiming-to-dominate-predictive-analytics-with-data-science) through Mnesia.\
So [please tell me](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33900/please-tell-me-what-are-the-technique-to-content-optimization) how can I remove a node that still preserve the inserted data.\
Thanks in advance.

To remove paricular [node](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/161418/what-is-node-js-and-how-does-it-work) from the node list. Follow the steps:\
* First of all, login to the cluster that you want to remove.\
* after that stop mnesia database:\
*> mnesia: stop().*\
* after that login from another node on the cluster.\
* now, you can delete the schema:\
*> mnesia:del_table_copy(schema, nameOfNode@hostName.domainName).\*That's it.\
I hope above steps will be helpful for you.
