# removeAllocation(_:)

Stages a single resource to leave the residency set’s list of allocations.

```
func removeAllocation(_ allocation: any MTLAllocation)
```

## Parameters

`allocation`

A resource allocation, such as an [`MTLBuffer`](/documentation/Metal/MTLBuffer), [`MTLTexture`](/documentation/Metal/MTLTexture), or [`MTLHeap`](/documentation/Metal/MTLHeap).

## Discussion

Finalize the removal of these resource allocations, and all others changes you stage, by calling a residency set’s [`commit()`](/documentation/Metal/MTLResidencySet/commit()) method.
