May I know how can I remove an object from my Firebase from Thunkable blocks?

Here is a screenshot of my firebase:

Here is a screenshot of the JSON:

I would like to remove the first item under ‘Thumb’, which is “-Nhu7U90q-WfLmy1\_HTC”. I have no idea how to start despite looking around in thunkable forums.

I have tried the “in list \_\_\_\_ remove first” block in Thunkable but it does not seem to remove it.

Here is a screenshot:

Thank you so much for any tips!

The folder “Thumb” is not a list of values and the list block will not work.

A list in firebase will look like this and start with a number.

 ![example](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/e/de0302fdf6a4cddb020c14f676a1ebaa9de1db94.png)

To erase that value, type in the location based on your folder structure using “/” to enter subfolders, then set that value to NULL.

This is just an example and I would need more info about your project.

This is my project. As you can see my folder structure is like this. “UserIDs/shared/JobFiles” and “UserIDs/shared/list”
