Removing Injected Scripts from DOM?

[jherdman]

Upon reading the API it's not clear how to remove injected scripts from the DOM. How does one accomplish this?

Hey @jherdman

To my knowledge, it's not possible to "unload" a script once it's loaded and executed.

What use case are you trying to achieve with removing a script?

Going to close this. Let me know if you have any additional information to add

Hi David!

I'm a maintainer of ember-metrics. A community member had mentioned that this lib might be a great fit to be the unpinning of our package instead of our own homespun solution.

The use case we have for DOM removal is testing. Though a script may not unload when you remove it from the DOM, the DOM node itself does which is important for clean up and testing — even if this doesn't happen in the real world.
