<p>The <code>jQuery.removeData()</code> method allows us to remove values that were previously set using <code><ahref="/jQuery.data">jQuery.data()</a></code>. When called with the name of a key, <code>jQuery.removeData()</code> deletes that particular value; when called with no arguments, all values are removed.</p>
