LIGHTNING-ASKRENE-REMOVE-LAYER(7)

✨ NAME ✨

askrene-remove-layer — the command that destroys a layer 💅 (yes, really, it's giving villain era but make it RPC)

Ok so real talk, bestie, this is from the lightning-askrene-remove-layer(7) manual — section 7, iykyk 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

askrene-remove-layer layer

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This command was added in v24.11, so if you're on something older, it's literally not gonna be there, no cap 😭

The askrene-remove-layer RPC command tells askrene to forget a layer. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Poof, gone, bye 👋✨

• layer (string) — the name of the layer to remove. Just the name, that's all it needs 🫶

---

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

On success, you get an empty object back. That's the whole flex:

{}

Nothing in it. Zero notes. Iconic behavior honestly 👑

ngl bestie, once you remove a layer it's gone — askrene is not keeping receipts for you. Double-check with lightning-askrene-listlayers(7) before you hit enter, fr fr 💀
