```

### Parameters

**** (\[VisualElement]\(/engine/6000.3/script-reference/unityengine/uielements/visualelement)): 

### Remarks

This method will first calculate the index of the child, followed by calling the [VisualElement.Hierarchy.RemoveAt](/engine/6000.3/script-reference/unityengine/uielements/visualelement/hierarchy/removeat.md) method to remove it from the hierarchy. If the element is null or not present in the hierarchy, an exception will be thrown.
