Hello there.

Do you have a question?

If so, please edit your post to include it in the Tell us what’s happening section.

Learning to describe problems is an important part of learning how to code.

Also, the more information you give us, the more likely we are to be able to help.

You should not hard code this global variable.

Notice how the parameter in the function is NOT the same as the object you are deleting?
The tests are failing because as you may notice, the “test cases” are not part of the code. Soooo they are not using the “recordCollection” present in the code, hence the issue.

Oh, Ok. Thank you very much!
