Tell us what’s happening:

I don’t think I fully understand what is happening when I call the parentElement (or childElement) but right now the error code I can’t shake is “You should use the remove() method to remove the parent element of buttonEl.” I had “buttonEl.remove(parentElement);” before, and a few other similar things.

Your code so far

const deleteTask = (buttonEl) => {
  const dataArrIndex = taskData.findIndex(
    (item) => item.id === buttonEl.parentElement.id
  );
    remove(buttonEl.parentElement);
    taskData.splice(dataArrIndex, 1);
}

update- making it taskData.remove(buttonEl.parentElement) doesn’t work

you need to call remove on the element you want to remove, so in this case it would be element.remove(), your element is buttonEl.parentElement.
