## Remarks

Dispatching this command will result in removal of the entire dashboard section. You can optionally specify that the items in the section should not be physically removed but instead be stashed for later 'resurrection'.

This command operates only on the root layout. For nested layouts, use [removeNestedLayoutSection()](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-ui-dashboard/sdk-ui-dashboard.removenestedlayoutsection/index.md).
