Don't remove it; ask Express not to generate it in the first place:

Go to your app.js and just after:

var app = express();

Add:

app.disable('x-powered-by');

Answer 2

The better way to do it is:

app.disable('x-powered-by');

You can also make a middleware to remove any header like so:

app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  res.removeHeader("X-Powered-By");
  next();
});
