JS - how to remove image with JavaScript?

Question

I faced a problem as to remove image with JS code like a...

<img src="image.png" id='image_X'>
...
document.getElementById('image_X').src=''

Image stays unchanged :( So my question is how to remove image with JS? To be more detailed... How to modify the image src attribute value dynamically?

Any useful comment is appreciated
