Leaflet: removeLayer by id do not work

Question

I am trying to remove element from map: Work code:

var x = L.imageOverlay(fullURL, xbounds).addTo(Window.map);
Window.map.removeLayer(x);

Do not work:

var x = L.imageOverlay(fullURL, xbounds).addTo(Window.map);
Window.map.removeLayer(1);

By the docs it have method for removing elements by IDs

Answer 1

Actually, map.removeLayer() accepts only a layer (as in your first code).

It is layerGroup.removeLayer() that can also accept an ID.

This "ID" is automatically defined by Leaflet, and you can retrieve it using L.stamp(layer).

var layerGroup = L.layerGroup().addTo(map)
var x = L.marker(coordinates).addTo(layerGroup);
var x_id = L.stamp(x); // Retrieve the x layer ID
layerGroup.removeLayer(x_id);
