Deleting a follower by script

I'm writing a script to quickly remove some followers from a figure.

So I iterate all nodes from the root, and check their label to find the one to delete.

I was wondering what's the best way to delete the node... do I have to use removeNodeChild (DzNode child, Boolean inPlace=false) /removeAllNodeChildren () or is there another way? I believe removeNodeChild only unparents the node?
