Example

Consider the following HTML document:


        
        
            
                
                
                    my_html = """
       <div>
              <p>Bob is great</p>
       </div>
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(my_html)

To delete both the p tag as well as its inner content:


        
        
            
                
                
                    div_tag = soup.find("div")
div_tag.find("p").decompose()
div_tag
                
            
            <div>
</div>
