The $remove method in AngularFire not working for me

ionic-v1
#1

I have the following data array in my Firebase app. I want to delete Account3 using AngularFire’s $remove method but I can’t get it to work

[MY-FIREBASE-URL]
  users
    simplelogin:1
      accounts
        0
          title: "Account1"
        1
          title: "Account2"
        2
          title: "Account3"
        3
          title: "Account4"
        4
          title: "Account5"

This is the code I’m using

var fbURL = [MY-FIREBASE-URL];
var ref = new Firebase(fbURL);
var authData = ref.getAuth();
if (authData) {
     console.log("User " + authData.uid + " is logged in with " + authData.provider);
     var accountPath = fbURL + "/users/" + authData.uid + "/accounts/" + account.title;
     //alert(accountPath);
     var accountRef = new Firebase(accountPath);
     accountRef.remove();
     } else {
          console.log("User is logged out");
     }

I see the console.log being written properly but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I finally found the answer to my question so here it is for any other newbies like me struggling with a similar issue. In the sample code above the Firebase URL was referencing “account.title” which in fact I needed “account.id”, based on the data structure above, to actually remove the entry from my Firebase data.
