If you already have the object that you want to remove from the `LIST` you can easily use `prune` and `prune_all`. But if you want to remove objects while iterating on that `LIST`, depending on criteria on the objects contained in the `LIST`, here what you can do.

But if you want to remove objects while iterating on that `LIST`, depending on criteria on the objects contained in the `LIST`, here is what you can do.
First of all, if you think about removing an object while iterating, I do not recommend using an `across` loop. If you iterate on the list using a `from until loop end`, just remember to use the `LIST.forth` only when you do not use `LIST.remove`.

For example, let's say we have class `MY_CLASS` with an attribute `has_stopped` and that I want to remove every object of a `LIST` that has this attribute set to `True`. Here what the code will look like.
